The TRA official said people should report any suspicious calls by dialling the non-emergency toll free number 901 or registering complaints online at www.ecrime.ae. He also pointed out that banks do not ask for updates or such information through the phone by calling customers.

Police recently arrested 25 suspects who were members of different gangs involved in phone call fraud operating in Sharjah and Ajman.
