In recent years, the cases of using “phone number altering software” to imitate real phone numbers and place fraud calls occur more and more often.

Please pay attention: government institutions, postal services, e-commerce and delivery companies will never ask you to transfer money or put money on a certain account. They will not require your PIN-code, account number or any other private information.

During the phone conversation, do not trust people who want you to transfer money, return or exchange a product, tell you that you’ve won a prize, received a subpoena, illegally exhausted your bank balance, inform you about insufficient funds on your phone or mention money laundering.

If you receive such calls you can try to verify the identity of the person by calling him or her back, and then report them to the police.
