TRAI: In the current era, the threat of spam calls and fraud calls has increased tremendously, and telecom users are checking every call very carefully. But usually many people cut or ignore calls from unknown numbers immediately. It was precisely at such times that the telecom regulator TRAI issued an important alert. If you receive calls from the ‘1600’ number series on your mobile phone, you are warned not to take them lightly under any circumstances. If you ignore the call, it is clear that you have missed a critical warning or important information.
In its official tweet, TRAI said in its official tweet that before missing or cutting calls from 1600 number series, everyone should remember that there may be an important message related to any urgent service or financial transaction. It has been clarified that these numbers are exclusively meant for government institutions, banks or other official services and transactions only. Mistakenly cutting them off as regular spam or promotional calls can result in missing out on important information. Hence it is very important to understand exactly the intention behind such calls.
Meanwhile, besides identifying genuine official calls, users are also advised to be alert for other spam calls that come from unauthorized sources. Officials urge anyone who receives nuisance or fraudulent calls to report spam calls immediately using the TRAI DND app. Experts reveal that guidelines like these are very helpful in using digital media safely.
