Claro telecom system is alerting its customers against fraudulent calls
On Sunday and Monday, 26-28 August 2018, the Claro telecom system was down for hours, making for a crisis for those who depend on the mobile and Internet telecommunications. The company has apologized but not given explanations.
Likewise, Claro is alerting its customers against fraudulent calls. In a note shared on the telecom company’s social media, the company alerts its customers to not return calls to areas with area code 375, 371, 370, 563, 255 because this could be fraud. The calls are being made to persons and then the caller makes it appear as if the call has crashed. The person usually returns the call and then is a victim of fraudulent charges of upwards of EUR30. Worse still, the system allows the hacker to steal your list of contacts and financial information. When receiving a call from any of those area codes, just let the telephone ring, says Claro.
