Trivandrum: The Kerala Police while giving an alert to the public concerning probable crimes said calls from unknown numbers can empty your wallet be Alert. Don’t answer calls from unknown numbers. Don’t return one-ring calls from unknown numbers. Don’t follow instructions on a prerecorded message, such as “Press 1” to speak to a live operator (it will probably lead to a phishing expedition) or press any key to get taken off a call list (it will probably lead to more rob calls).
Don’t give personal or financial data, such as your bank account or credit card number, to callers you don’t know. If they say they have the information and just need you to confirm it, that’s a trick. Don’t pay registration or shipping charges to get a supposed free product or prize. Such fees are ploys to get your payment information.
