Latest Scam Alerts
3International Call Voice Recording Scam
1/3Scammers call from international numbers (+92, +44, +1, etc.) and try to make you say "Yes" or "Hello". They record your voice and use it for voice-based authentication to approve bank transactions, insurance claims, or identity verification.
How It Works
You receive a call from an unknown international number. The caller asks questions like "Can you hear me?" or "Is this [your name]?" to get you to say "Yes" or "Haan". Your recorded voice is then used for voice approval on financial services.
How to Protect Yourself
- ✓Never answer calls from unknown international numbers
- ✓If you answer, do NOT say "Yes" or "Haan" — stay silent or say "Who is this?"
- ✓Block and report international spam numbers immediately
- ✓Enable DND (Do Not Disturb) for international calls via your telecom provider
- ✓Report suspicious calls on Chakshu (Sanchar Saathi portal)
If you receive such a call, hang up immediately and report it on 1930.
