Despite the repeated warnings issued by the Cyber Police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, fraudsters continue to present themselves as employees of mobile operators operating in Armenia under the pretext of "5G network upgrades," "improving call quality," or "technical adjustments," and convince citizens to download special programs on their phones. Unfortunately, as a result of this method, new victims continue to be reported.
"Remember: installing such programs gives criminals remote access to your mobile phone, allowing them to access banking applications and steal your funds."
To ensure your safety:
• do not download programs offered by unknown individuals,
• do not provide confirmation codes, passwords, or other personal information,
• if you receive a suspicious call, immediately terminate the conversation and contact your mobile operator's official service center.
Remember: mobile operators operating in Armenia never request you to download any application or program via phone call."
