    PRESS RELEASE IN PUBLIC INTEREST

    Beware of being deceived by fake SMS / VOICE message

    The practice of misleading customers by sending various messages, installing mobile apps and asking them to transfer small sums of money by stealing account details is gaining popularity. Misleading messages such as that the new connection has been given for free and that the existing mobile connection will be closed, prompting customers to call the fraudsters through the incoming number and thereby follow their instructions. It has also been noticed that male and female voice calls are coming. Customers should therefore ignore messages and phone calls like this and never click on links that appear in fake messages for any reason. Contact the authorized customer care numbers of your mobile companies for clarification.
    Published by BSNL in the public interest. (BSNL TOLL FREE No.1503) Note that the Kerala Police Cyber ​​Cell has issued this warning to mobile users.

    Telecom Commercial Communication Customer Preference Regulation, 2018

    Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) notified Telecom Commercial Communication Customer Preference Regulation, 2018 dated 19th July 2018 to curb the problem of Unsolicited Commercial Communication (UCC). The objective of the new regulation is to effectively deal with the nuisance of spam experienced by the subscribers. The new system was implemented with effect from 1st April 2021. In this new system, mandatory registration in DLT platform is required to send all commercial communication to their subscribers/prospects. Moreover, the SMS template also need to be registered with telecom service providers. This system will reduce the percentage of SMS frauds since any SMS that is not verified by the telecom service provider will be blocked and not delivered to the customers.

    Fraudsters started using Personal Mobile numbers to tackle the issue of SMS Template Registration

    It is to be noted that, after the introduction of SMS template system with the help of DLT platform working in block chain technology, fraudsters started to send spam messages from personal mobile numbers instead of SMS headers like – CP-SMSFST, AD-VIRINF, CP-BLMKND, BP-ITLINN etc.
