Government issued a statement

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) said in an official statement on Tuesday that mobile service operators have been asked to tag international calls for the awareness of their customers. The department said that the international incoming fraudulent calls prevention system was launched on October 22 and within 24 hours of its launch, 90 percent of the 1.35 crore or international calls coming from tempered Indian phone numbers were identified as spam calls.

The government warned mobile users that after this, scammers have changed their strategy and are now using calls from international numbers to cheat people. The department said that users should be cautious while replying to calls from unknown international numbers that do not start with +91. DoT has also asked to be cautious of calls that claim to be from Indian government departments.

DoT has already issued a warning

Let us remind you that even before this, DOT has warned crores of mobile users about calls coming from international numbers. Just a few days ago, X has posted on the social media platform X and asked to be careful of international calls coming from +77, +89, +85, +86, +87, +84. While issuing a warning to the customers, it was told that no calls are made to any mobile users by the Department of Telecommunications or TRAI, so if anyone makes such claims, then those are fake calls.

The government said that if you receive a fake call from an international number, you can complain about it on the Chakshu portal. Not only this, DoT also said that the international calls made by scammers to cheat people are internet generated.
