Here’s the call forwarding scam that Airtel, Reliance’s Jio and Truecaller have warned their users about

Criminals are using a ‘call forwarding scam’ to deceive people, posing as customer service representatives from telecom operators or internet service providers. They ask victims to dial a code that activates call forwarding to the scammer’s number. Once the scammer has access to the victim’s calls, they can try to log in to other accounts and steal money. To stay safe, users should avoid dialing codes or sharing sensitive information with unknown callers.
