ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has warned users against fake calls and UAN numbers.
A video message released by the PTA says that scammers are impersonating PTA, FIA, banks to steal your personal and financial information.
The PTA says that no government agency will ever ask you for OTP, PIN, identity card or biometrics on a call or message.
Mobile users should be vigilant and verify only through official channels.
It should be noted that earlier, in a statement, the PTA appealed to users to ensure responsible use of their SIMs and telecommunication services and warned that using a SIM registered in the name of another person is a violation of relevant regulations.
The PTA authority had emphasized that the full responsibility for any misuse of the SIM will lie with the registered user, so users should ensure responsible use of their SIMs and mobile connections at all times.
According to the PTA statement, registered users will be held individually accountable for all calls, messages and data usage made through their SIMs or devices.
The PTA further appealed to users to abide by all relevant laws and regulations and warned that action may be taken in case of violation.
