Precautionary Measures<\/h4>\n

In such cases, citizens should first check their recent transactions and never<\/strong> transfer money without proper verification.<\/p>\n

How to Report<\/h4>\n

If a scam attempt occurs, people are advised to immediately contact their bank and report the number to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority at 080025625.<\/p>\n

Public Advisory<\/h4>\n

The State Bank has reminded citizens to stay vigilant during digital banking transactions. Even if someone claims to be a bank representative, do not share personal information, account details, or one-time passwords.<\/p>\n
