ISLAMABAD: In an official handout circulated on Monday, the military’s public relations wing warned Pakistani citizens of fake telephone calls made by individuals impersonating armed forces officials.
The document said that these unknown miscreants were trying to seek people’s personal information – such as their Computerized National Identity Card number and bank details – on the pretext of census verification.
The handout noted that the Pakistani armed forces were not making such phone calls to anyone, adding that the “public is requested not to respond to such calls, and immediately report the matter on our emergency help line UAN 1135 and 1125.”
