She keeps making people aware from time to time and also works at her level to prevent such incidents. A few days ago, some numbers were issued by the government and people were told not to answer calls coming from such numbers. These are some international numbers which people call to defraud.
Which numbers to be careful about?
The telecom department of the government had alerted people about international fraud calls and asked them not to answer calls coming from phone numbers starting with +77, +89, +85, +86, +84 etc. The department said that if anyone receives calls from such numbers, then inform about it on sancharsaathi.gov.in and help the department in blocking such numbers and saving others.
Government is tightening the reins
Actually, the government is continuously taking action against people making fake calls from within the country. As of November 15, 2024, the government had ‘blocked’ 6.69 lakh SIM cards and 1,32,000 IMEI numbers. Such efforts are being made as part of the government’s comprehensive strategy to deal with cyber crimes. In such a situation, cyber thugs are trying to victimize people by calling with the help of international numbers.
Be alert from cyber criminals
