FAQ — Scams ke sawalat

Scammer mere naam aur CNIC kaise jaanta hai?

Kya bank waali call sachi ho sakti hai?

Banks kabhi out-of-blue call kar ke OTP/PIN nahi maangte. Call aaye to bank ki official number par wapas call karein.

Scam call ko block karna kaafi hai?

Block karein aur report karein (FIA 1991 / app mein report). Kuch phones mein spam filtering on karein.
