🛡️ How to Protect Yourself

01

Never share OTPs, TAC codes, or passwords with anyone who calls you — even if they claim to be from your bank or a government agency.

02

Hang up and call back the official number from the organisation's website. Scammers cannot intercept calls made to official numbers.

03

Search the number here before calling back. Community reports reveal whether a number is known for PDRM / Police Impersonation activity.

04

Report the number after receiving a suspicious call. Your report protects others from the same scam campaign.
