“Scammers can access personal and bank details through missed calls from unknown international numbers. Dialling #90 and #09 codes on phone will allow scammers to access individual’s SIM card details”
What FACTLY found
The post highlights the ‘One-Ring’ phone scam, where scammers exploit the opportunity to collect commissions from high international rates or connection fees imposed on individuals for making international calls.
