Claims circulating on social media about a 'Pradhan Mantri Free Mobile Yojana' offering free smartphones to women and students have been debunked by the Press Information Bureau (PIB). The viral messages, often accompanied by misleading videos and official-sounding language, urged users to fill out online forms with personal details, including Aadhaar numbers, to receive a device. The PIB has clarified that no such government scheme exists, warning citizens against falling prey to online scams and fraudulent links.
