No Reports Lodged Yet Over 'Silent Call' Scam

Dec 14, 2025

Bukit Aman says it has yet to receive any reports about the public falling victim to a new tactic, where people’s voices are recorded, manipulated with artificial intelligence, and used to defraud others on their contacts list.

However, cops are urging everyone to remain cautious and not divulge any personal information to strangers over the phone…and also to lodge reports about any suspicious calls or messages.
