More than 3,000 phone numbers have been flagged by a special database. These numbers are associated with fraudulent activities. The database helps identify potentially harmful numbers.
Investigations show that about 90 percent of these flagged numbers are connected to mobile money fraud. This type of scam targets people trying to send or receive money electronically.
Social media platforms are being used to carry out these scams. TikTok has been identified as the primary source for these fraudulent schemes.
The flagging system aims to protect citizens from financial losses due to scams. Authorities are working to track down those responsible for these fraudulent numbers.
This effort is part of ongoing measures to combat cybercrime and financial fraud in the country.
