Fraud in the name of Samsung contest winner

[Dhiru94]

Hi Members,

I received this mail yesterday. It seems a fraud to me as they are asking to transfer the funds first in the name of Gift tax (30% of 5000).

This is not scammer.
Every winner has to pay 30% tax as per government norms.
I also had to pay ₹1500 as 30% tax when I was selected as winner.

No I won 10000 gift voucher and didn't Pay any tax. This is fraud email

After the payment of the tax to the above details, I got my ₹5000 samsung e-store voucher.

Here's the mail I got

And then the voucher

Instead of asking you to pay they can deduct the taxable amount and then they can issue voucher na.
