Beware Of Fake Call To Action On The Internet: Here Is An Example by Theraregem(op): 7:56am On Jul 13, 2016

Have you ever come across a Blogpost, Facebook post, Whatsapp message, an email or sms similar to the one in the picture above. Oh! great you have? or You havent?

The message comes with an email id and claims that people who have lost their mobile phones can email their complaint there, along with the IMEI number and other details so as to trace and track them back from anywhere in the world.

The story is a mixture of hoax and facts

However cops@vsln.net was an id of Chennai police which ceases to exist, it was first published in The Hindu website post then some users randomly started posting articles about the above that the Chennai Police id DOES help when phone is lost. Now it is flooded with many such posts that suggest that you can find your lost mobile phone if you send mail along with some details to this id. Existence or nonexistence of this email id can be verified at http://verify-email.org/
