THE Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has urged the public to remain vigilant against scams involving individuals impersonating its officials following the arrest of 61 suspects in Selangor.

In a statement, MCMC said it viewed seriously attempts to impersonate its officials to deceive the public, particularly fraudulent activities that could threaten public safety and undermine trust in the institution.

The commission said it had taken note of the police arrests and pledged its full cooperation with the investigation, including providing relevant information to assist the authorities.

It also advised the public to exercise caution when receiving calls or text messages from individuals claiming to represent MCMC.

Members of the public were urged to verify such claims through official channels before disclosing personal information or carrying out any financial transactions.
