Sharing the incident on Twitter, Kamath recounted an encounter involving a person claiming to be a FedEx representative.
Kamath tweeted, "There's a new scam in the name of FedEx, Blue Dart, and other courier companies that you need to be aware of. A colleague received a call from an individual posing as a FedEx representative, stating that a package had been confiscated by the police due to the discovery of drugs."
According to Kamath, his colleague received an "official" notice from the fraudsters, who went to great lengths to deceive by even making a video call impersonating a police officer. The scammers also provided bank account details, urging the victim to transfer funds to secure the release of the alleged package.
