Bukit Aman & Spam Blocking App Whoscall Are Working Together To Combat Online Fraud
In conjunction with the collaboration, Whoscall will flag phone numbers in the JSJK Semakmule System database as scammers.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) announced a collaboration with mobile phone application developer Whoscall to combat online fraud
According to Bernama, Bukit Aman CCID director Datuk Kamarudin Md Din said the call identification application that was developed by My Gogo and Look Sdn Bhd will provide users with information regarding unknown calls.
In conjunction with the collaboration, Whoscall will flag phone numbers in the JSJK Semakmule System database as scammers.
"This allows users who download this application on their mobile phones to decide whether they want to answer the call received or otherwise," he said in a statement yesterday, 4 January.
In 2022, there were more than RM684.5 million in losses related to online fraud criminal cases, with 13,371 arrests
The figures indicate an increase compared to 2021.
However, there was a very slight decrease in the number of cases last year, with 20,041 compared to 2021, which recorded 20,701
