Malaysia’s First Scam Call Alert by U Mobile

Our Scam Call Alert looks out for you by flagging potential scam calls before you answer. It’s a security feature built into our network that works quietly in the background to help protect you to give you the peace of mind. 

 

If a call seems suspicious, a “Scam Alert” appears on your screen, giving you the choice to answer or ignore it.

Scammers are using fake mobile signal stations to send SMS messages with suspicious links. These links may lead to fake websites that try to steal your personal or banking details.

 

A common sign: your phone suddenly drops to 2G (from fake mobile signal station), then you receive an SMS with a link. This could be part of the scam of the fake mobile signal station.

 

To protect you, we’ve blocked all SMS messages containing links on our network. So if you get a text with a link, it’s likely a scam and should be ignored. Your safety is our priority. Here’s what you can do to stay alert and protected with us:

Anyone can be targeted by scammers, but you can stay vigilant & follow these tips to avoid from falling victim to scams or fraud.

Cyber criminals are constantly evolving and perfecting their schemes – we've identified some of the most common types of online and phone scams happening today:

Know What Puts Your Device at Risk

Your device's security features are designed to protect your personal data, applications and accounts. Actions such as rooting, jailbreaking and sideloading can bypass these safeguards, increasing the risk of malware, data theft and financial scams.

Rooting Risk Icon U Mobile

Rooting

More access can mean less protection. Rooting gives you full control of an Android device but weakens its security, leaving it vulnerable to malware, data theft and unauthorised access. Avoid rooting to stay protected.

Jailbreaking Risk Icon U Mobile

Jailbreaking

More freedom can mean more risk. Jailbreaking removes Apple's security restrictions, leaving your device vulnerable to malicious apps, data theft and system issues. Avoid jailbreaking to stay protected.

Sideloading Risk Icon U Mobile

Sideloading

Sideloading means installing apps from outside official app stores. These apps may hide malware that steals your passwords, banking details or OTPs. Download apps only from official app stores.

Keep your device and apps updated, leave all security features enabled and download apps only from official sources. If you receive a link or file asking you to install an app, verify it independently using the organisation's official website or contact details before taking any action.
