NOTIFICATION

Beware of fraudulent voice calls.

Recently some syndicates overseas have been defrauding mobile phone users using "missed called" method. How it works :

  1. The overseas fraudster calls the victim (mobile phone user) from a Premium Rate Service number.
  2. Fraudster hangup immediately after 1 or 2 rings.
  3. Victim's phone registers a "missed call".
  4. Victim thinks it is a legitimate call & then makes a return call. Victim is charged for the premium IDD call.
  5. Fraudster earns revenue from the premium call.


Things to take note if you encounter such calls :

  • Avoid calling back on an international missed call if you are not expecting such calls
  • Immediately disconnect in case you call back on international premium rate number
  • Do not share personal details
