How to trap people by giving missed calls?
Scammers usually make missed calls. When a user calls back, scammers connect the call to an expensive premium service. In some cases the charges can be Rs 100 per minute or even more. These scammers make missed calls again and again. So, if you get a call from an international number, the best solution is to ignore it and block it immediately. Remember, if a number does not start with +91, it indicates that it is an international call.
However, it is worth noting that the government and telecom companies, whether private or government, are making tireless efforts to deal with cyber scams. But criminals are constantly adopting new tactics to carry out their plans and they are also becoming successful in them. In view of this, Jio has also warned its users about recent scams.
