ISPR cautions public against fake calls from army officials’ impersonators

RAWALPINDI: To raise awareness among the masses, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) issued a statement on Sunday to warn against fake telephone calls to the public from impersonators of Pakistan Armed Forces officials.

“There are reports of fake telephone calls being made to the general public by individuals impersonating as Pakistan Armed Forces officials. The impersonators try to seek personal details like CNIC, bank accounts etc on the pretext of CENSUS verification etc,” Pak Army’s media wing said in the statement.

ISPR clarified that “no such calls are being made from Pakistan Armed Forces.”

People are requested not to respond to such calls, and immediately report the same on Pakistan Army emergency helpline UAN 1135 and 1125 (Peshawar), the statement added.
