The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has warned the public against fake calls threatening mobile disconnection. The Communications Ministry noted several media reports in recent times of consumers being targeted through telephonic calls or messages by fraudsters posing as TRAI officials. These fraudsters threaten disconnection of mobile connections for being involved in illegal activities and for extraction of money. Citizens have been encouraged to report suspected fraudulent communications through the Chakshu facility on the Sanchar Saathi platform.
