Are your calls being forwarded to someone else’s phone without your knowledge? Through Call Forwarding Scams, cyber criminals use fake customer care calls, phishing links, USSD codes, and social engineering tactics to trick users into diverting their calls to fraudsters’ numbers. To reduce this risk, the Ministry of Communications, Department of Telecommunications has introduced a new safety measure. From 1 July 2026: • Telecom companies will send an official SMS alert whenever call forwarding is activated • The SMS will include the forwarded number details • Instructions to deactivate call forwarding will also be provided • Activation and deactivation records will be maintained for at least 1 year Citizens are advised to: • Dial *#21# to check your call forwarding status • Dial ##002# to deactivate call forwarding • Never dial codes shared by unknown callers • Avoid following instructions from fake customer care executives #🌐 राष्ट्रीय अपडेट #📹 वायरल वीडियो #news #india #scamalert

Scammers “Call Forwarding” feature का misuse करके आपके calls और sensitive alerts अपने number पर divert कर सकते हैं - बिना आपकी जानकारी के। इसीलिए थोड़ी सी सावधानी आपको बड़े cyber fraud से बचा सकती है। सावधान रहें: • Call Forwarding status *#21# समय-समय पर check करें • बिना verify किए किसी भी code को dial न करें • Unknown calls और messages से सतर्क रहें • Phone की security settings हमेशा updated रखें बचाव का तरीका: • ##002# dial करें - सभी call forwarding cancel हो जाएँगी • *21*, *61*, *67* जैसे codes कभी dial न करें • Unknown callers द्वारा बताए गए codes पर trust न करें इस संबंध में Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) द्वारा आधिकारिक advisory जारी की गई है: https://i4c.mha.gov.in/theme/resources/advisories/Advisory-USSD%20based%20account%20takeover-TAU_ADV_007.pdf #Cyberdost #call #scamalert #courier #india #
