The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) warns citizens of fraudulent calls threatening mobile disconnection or misuse of numbers, and impersonating government officials. Cyber criminals aim to steal personal information for financial fraud. DoT urges vigilance, advising reporting of such incidents on the Sanchar Saathi portal’s ‘Chakshu-Report Suspected Fraud Communications’ facility. Citizens can also verify and report unauthorized mobile connections on the portal and seek help from the cyber-crime helpline or website if victimized.
