News & Reviews:   Whoscall

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and Whoscall are collaborating to bolster Malaysia's defenses against scams. At the 'Scam Free Malaysia Carnival', they recently announced the giveaway of 1 million Whoscall Premium accounts, worth over RM87 million for free, to help protect Malaysians. 

Previously, we mentioned how the MCMC has blocked over 2.6 million scam calls. Today, the CEO of Gogolook, Manwoo Joo announced the pick-up rate for scam calls has fallen by 10%. This success can be credited to Whoscall collaboration with PDRM.

Over 73 per cent of cell phone numbers in our country, or approximately 21 million people were leaked or sold to scammers last year. According to the Gogolook 2022 Annual Fraud Report, Malaysia was granted the unwanted title of being 1st place in cell phone numbers breached by the global security company.

Scam calls are getting out of hand these days. To tackle the issue, Whoscall has been appointed by the Royal Police Malaysia (PDRM) as the strategic partner to fight against serious fraud crime in Malaysia. This collaboration involves fraud number database sharing from the PDRM CCID portal to Whoscall's data system as an updated and reliable caller ID application for Malaysians.
