Accordingly, from October 27, all phone numbers of units under the Ministry of Information and Communications calling people will display the identifier "BO TTTT".
Similarly, calls from a telecommunications company to a customer also display the network operator's identifier.
Recently, some subjects impersonating the Ministry of Information and Communications, police, prosecutors, banks, telecommunications networks, etc. have called to threaten and defraud, thereby appropriating people's property.
This phenomenon is on the rise and becoming increasingly complex, causing public outrage and affecting the activities of many agencies, organizations and individuals.

To prevent fraud through impersonation calls, the Ministry of Information and Communications has directed the provision of identification names for hotline numbers of units under the Ministry of Information and Communications and network operators. This solution will also help people to be more vigilant against the methods and tricks that subjects often use to commit fraud.
When calling customers, the phone numbers of telecommunications companies display their identifiers. For example, Vinaphone, Viettel , etc.
Phone numbers calling claiming to be units under the Ministry of Information and Communications or telecommunications enterprises but not displaying their identification names are all fake phone numbers, showing signs of fraud.
When receiving fake calls, people need to report to the hotline for receiving reports on spam calls and calls with signs of fraud of the Ministry of Information and Communications 156, 5656 or the telecommunications enterprise managing the subscriber to request handling.
