One of the social media users claims in Hindi that
translates to, At this time of crisis, Jio is offering a free recharge of Rs
498. Click the link below to get the free recharge done. The offer is valid
till 31st March.
A Facebook user also claims, Jio free recharge Rs 498 all
users.
Many people have shared different links with the same
claim. Though Jio has taken a few initiatives and started a campaign as to how
to fight novel coronavirus, it has nothing to do with this claim.
We have seen that people are sharing different links to
get the recharge done. Like there is one link jio new offer.online.
Another link is jio free recharges online. We clicked all
the links which directed us to a website where Mukesh Ambani's profile has been
used. The site asks for the customer's Jio mobile number and name. People posted
this on Twitter as well. One Twitter user tagged Jio on his Twitter handle to
get clarification and Jio officially denied the claim on their official Twitter
handle.
