News India Live, Digital Desk: In public places or crowded areas, unknown people can cheat by asking for mobile phones. Often such people say that their phone has stopped and they want to make an important call. Experts have advised people to be conscious in this regard.
How is fraud?
Frauds dial some special codes after asking for mobiles or install an app. This makes your calls forward on their phone and you do not even know. This technical fraud can reach your personal interaction and sensitive information to criminals.
Rescue measures:
- Be cautious while giving mobile phones to an unknown person.
- Go to mobile settings and check regularly whether your call forwarding option is not active.
- Go to the phone’s default calling app or Google app and check the settings of call forwarding. If the call forwarding on, then turn it off immediately.
- Check unknown apps at regular intervals in your mobile and uninstall the suspicious apps immediately.
By taking caution and vigilance, you can protect yourself from this new type of mobile fraud.
