The government alerted mobile users to beware of new types of scams.
As the use of smartphones and internet has increased, cyber crimes have also increased rapidly. Cyber criminals are adopting new methods to cheat mobile users. In recent times, digital arrest has become a new way of making people victims of fraud. Scammers have now started cheating customers even in the name of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. Now the government has alerted mobile users about such scams.
Let us tell you that recently a post was made by the Press Information Bureau on the social media platform X. On its social media post, PIB asked, ‘Have you also been called by the Telecom Regulatory Authority and told that due to abnormal behavior of the phone, your mobile number will be switched off soon.’
PIB alerts mobile users
Tagging TRAI in its post, PIB made it clear that calls are never made to mobile users by TRAI. Not only this, PIB also clarified that TRAI does not send any message to any telecom users related to number closure.
Let us tell you that such a warning was also given by the Department of Telecommunications some time ago to ensure that mobile users remain alert. It was told by the Department of Telecommunications that beware of calls coming from TRAI regarding disconnecting your network. This is a new kind of scam.
Government asked to be careful with these numbers
The government is continuously taking steps to stop the rapidly increasing cases of cyber crime and fraud. The company is continuously alerting customers. Recently, the government has asked mobile users to be alert about calls coming from certain numbers. Some numbers have been disclosed to mobile users by the government and they have been advised not to receive calls from these. The government said that if you get calls starting with +77, +85, +89, +86, +87 and +84 codes, do not receive them.
