The Cyber ​​Police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Armenia warns the citizens that recently the cases of phone frauds, which are carried out under the name of “5G” service, have become active. This is reported by the Cyber ​​Police of the RA Ministry of Internal Affairs.

“Criminals call from various phone numbers, pretend to be employees of a mobile operator and claim that you need to install a special application on your phone to connect to the 5G network or to improve the quality of the connection.

The software you download allows fraudsters to remotely control your phone, gain access to banking apps, and steal money from your accounts in seconds.

You can protect yourself from these scams with the very simple steps below

Do not install unknown applications at the urging of unknown persons.

Mobile operators never require software to be downloaded via a phone call.

When you receive a suspicious call, stop the conversation immediately and call the official service center of your operator,” the message states.
