ISPR warns against fake phone calls

Beware of fake telephone calls as armed forces are not making any calls to general public clarified by army’s media wing ISPR. If public receive such calls then immediately report the same on our emergency helpline 1135 and 1125 advised the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).  The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Sunday warned the general public against telephone calls by impersonators pretending to be army officers.

"There are reports of fake telephone calls being made to the general public by individuals impersonating as Pakistan Armed Forces officials," read a message issued by the military's media wing said.

"The impersonators try to seek personal details" including national identity card (CNIC) and bank account information "on the pretext of census verification," the ISPR said. Don’t provide any personal details to such callers. Armed forces are not doing any census verification through phone calls.
