The Powai police are on the lookout for a social engineering attacker who tried to dupe people in the name of DMart, the supermarket chain.

A source said Siddharth Ghaitadke, an area manager of Avenue Supermart which owns DMart, approached the Cyber Police Station in Bandra Kurla Complex on June 11, and filed a complaint against an unidentified social engineering attacker. Ghaitadke said on June 10 many of the market’s customers turned up at its Powai outlet to avail of Rs 2,500 from a gift voucher. The staff was clueless about the vouchers, but a few customers showed them a text message which read, 'DMart is giving a free Rs 2,500 shopping voucher to celebrate its 17th anniversary.
