A message is vividly becoming viral on social media in which it is claimed that because industrialist Gautam Adani has become the richest person in Asia, on this happy occasion, 3 months of free mobile recharge will be provided to all Indian users for free.
Along with this, a link has been given in the message, by clicking on which it has been asked to get the recharge and the last date has been given as 15 September.
The WhatsApp forward is in Hindi. A Facebook user shared the forwarded message’s screenshot and wrote, “Take advantage of the offer.”

The whatsaap forward claiming on providing free recharge is fake
