The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) in Egypt is intensifying efforts to combat phone line fraud, according to Mohamed Ibrahim, the authority's spokesperson. In the past two days, the NTRA received over 3,000 complaints and over 100,000 inquiries regarding mobile phone lines registered in individuals' names who do not possess them.
During an interview on Sunday, Ibrahim explained that the NTRA investigates complaints of problems in mobile line registration or ownership transfers, subjecting these cases to examination and verification. Citizens can reach the NTRA via its call center or announced communication channels. Ibrahim stated that the NTRA will hold telecommunications companies accountable for any wrongdoing.
Penalties are not limited to registration or transfer issues; the regulatory body imposes penalties on companies for various regulatory violations, which are reported monthly. The NTRA announces these penalties and restores citizens' rights in proven cases, specifying the returned items to the citizens.
