Number substitution is a fraud scheme common for June 2023, in which a subscriber's number can be used for calls without his knowledge.

Gazprombank Mobile launches call verification, which is designed to protect subscribers. The principle of the system is that it recognizes the call from the replacement number and blocks it. In other words, the system checks whether the subscriber with this number is actually making a call at the moment, and if there is no outgoing call, the system will terminate the call of the attacker itself.
Customer safety is our priority. It is important for us not only to provide subscribers with high-quality services and favorable service conditions, but also to provide confidence that both the number and the means are protected from intruders. We plan to launch a number of other services in the near future that will protect our customers from fraudsters, - said Anastasia Speshilova, General Director of Gazprombank Mobile. |
