❓ FAQ
The caller has my personal info, is it real?
No. Data leaks are common; scammers can know your name and ID number, but that doesn't mean they're official. Always verify with 165 and the agency's main switchboard.
What if I already transferred to a 'supervision account'?
Call 165 immediately, contact your bank to try to intercept the transfer, and report to the police. The sooner you act, the better chance to stop the loss.
