The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued a strong warning to mobile users, cautioning them against scam calls and messages in which fraudsters impersonate PTA, FIA, and banks to steal personal and financial information.
In an official video message, the PTA clarified that no government institution ever asks for OTPs, PIN codes, CNIC numbers, or biometric details through phone calls or text messages. The authority urged mobile users to remain vigilant and verify any information only through official channels.

All calls, messages, and data usage made through a registered SIM will be attributed to the registered user

Legal action may be taken in case of violations
