The government will implement a measure not to include web links and phone numbers in cell phone newsletters.

According to Deputy Minister of Digital Communication Teo Nie Ching, in order to reduce the number of fraud cases in the country, the ministry will implement the measure of not putting web links and phone numbers in cell phone newsletters, which can effectively raise awareness of the public.

It is understood that many victims of scams are scammed by clicking on the links in the SMS or calling the phone numbers in the SMS.

The Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will communicate this intention to all network providers and organizations to reduce the chances of web links and phone numbers appearing in cell phone newsletters.

We also urge people not to click on links on the Internet and not to download unknown software from unofficial application stores. This will prevent you from falling into the mire of scams.
