Fact Check:

The claim is false.

When the link given on the website was clicked, the user was redirected to another page asking for their mobile number to verify if the number was eligible for the offer and activate the free 50 GB data plan provided for three months.

Once the mobile number details are provided, another page flashed congratulating the user for receiving a 50 GB free data plan for three months.

Further, it asked the user to share the registration link of the website with 12 friends or groups on WhatsApp.

Also, these websites requested that users share the registration link until the blue bar on the website fills up.

We found a few websites that published articles reporting about the dubious messages posted on social media which claimed that Jio was offering a 25GB free data plan during the COVID-19 lockdown. Such messages are fraudulent, the report said.

Meanwhile, Jio Care tweeted that Jio does not send such free data plan messages to its customers and that all the information related to that provided by Jio was available on their app 'MyJio'.

Hence, the claim is false. Websites offering 50 GB free internet plans amid the FIFA World Cup 2022 fever are fraudulent.
