PTA blocks eight numbers over Ehsaas programme fraud

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has blocked eight mobile phone numbers over Ehsaas programme fraud. Many people filed a complaint with the PTA that they received messages from these numbers asking for their details to register for the Ehsaas Emergency Cash programme. The PTA has sent these numbers to the FIA to investigate who is behind these scams.

The authority has told people to not share personal information with anybody on their mobile phones. People can call on 0800-55055 if they want to report any suspicious activity.
