Author: Staff Report

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Monday asked the general public to immediately inform the Pakistan Armed Forces on emergency helpline if they received any fake phone calls from army impersonators seeking private information from them.

“Please be aware that no such calls are being made from Pakistan Armed Forces. Public is requested not to respond to such calls, and immediately report the same on emergency helpline (UAN 1135 and 1125),” ISPR said in a press release.

“There are reports of fake telephone calls being made to general public by individuals impersonating as Pakistan Armed Forces officials. The impersonators try to seek personal details about Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), bank accounts, etc, on the pretext of census verification, etc,” it added.
