Beware of fraudulent calls from persons claiming to represent DCI President, Member: DCI Alert to dental colleges, state dental councils

According to a recent notice, the apex council received reliable inputs about a fraud which is underway using different mobile numbers and thus duping the dental authorities.

Adding details about the modus operandi of the fraudsters, the council alerted the authorities that unknown persons are calling from numerous mobiles pretending to be the executive members, acting president and secretary of the dental council of India and demanding unethical favours and information.

Therefore, the apex council has now issued an advisory to the authorities to not get misled by the fake calls and avoid falling prey to the fraudsters.

The notice reads:

"it is brought to the notice of the Principal/Management of the Dental Colleges and President & Registrar of the State Dental Councils that unknown persons from numerous mobiles are calling as Acting President, Executive Committee Members and Secretary of the Dental Council India and demanding unethical favor and information.
