According to the head of the National Crime Center of FATA Police, any notification about internet packages is done only through CRA.ir SMS number
According to Iran digital economy annotation, the beginning of providing free internet to users has prompted internet fraudsters who use the “phishing” tactic to empty the bank accounts of citizens to encourage them to open infected links by sending messages to people about receiving these free internet packages.
Last week, after the possibility of increasing the price of mobile internet became serious, the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Eisa Zarepour, announced on the sidelines of the government board meeting, that if the tariff increase is agreed, the free internet package will be allocated to the people by the operators. At the end of the year, the cost should not be imposed on them and they can meet their usual needs.
After the announcement of the details of the government’s plan to provide free internet to the people, internet fraudsters who try to empty people’s accounts through malware and sending infected links have started working, and for this reason, the head of the Crime Fighting Center National and Organized Police FATA Faraja on Tuesday advised citizens to activate the free internet package only through the National Smart Government Services window.
“Mostafa Nowrouzi”, the head of the National and Organized Crime Center of FATA Police, announced: “Any notification regarding Internet packages is done only through the CRA.ir SMS number.”
He also said: “Citizens should note that any messages received in this regard from personal numbers or social networks are definitely sent by criminals and are intended to defraud and empty bank accounts; Therefore, do not pay attention to these messages and refrain from opening any links or installing Android programs with this title.”
According to Nowrouzi, the FATA police site at http://www.cyberpolice.gov.ir is ready to receive public reports and users can follow the latest news of cyber incidents and events from this site.
Earlier, the FATA police had warned the citizens about the trap of internet fraudsters to receive the dividends of justice.
