Sihanoukville Provincial Television, September 16 — Cambodian media report that the Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia (TRC) issued an urgent notice yesterday warning the public about a recent increase in Telegram scams.
The notice describes several tactics: impersonating government departments, public figures or business executives; offering high returns through fake investment platforms; using supposed prize notifications to steal personal and financial information; and falsely claiming that a Telegram account has a problem in order to obtain verification codes.
TRC recommends enabling two-step verification, using strong passwords and changing them regularly, checking for suspicious logged-in sessions, and setting an app passcode. It also advises against opening links from strangers or giving them personal information.
Users who encounter suspicious activity or scams can call TRC’s hotline, 6789, during working hours, email [email protected]
, or contact its official Facebook page, “Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia”.
