The Communications Regulation Commission (CRC) warns the end users of misleading short text message (SMS) urging the receiver to call an international number indicated in the message (“Call me urgently…”).

 

Making an outgoing call to the numbers indicated in this messages leads to the realization of undesired international traffic from the subscribers to destinations outside the European Union. In order to restrict the adverse financial consequences, CRC advises the end users to verify carefully the indicated in the messages numbers before making an outgoing call.
