Claim: Scammers can access personal and bank details through missed calls from unknown international numbers. Dialling #90 and #09 codes on phone will allow scammers to access individual's SIM card details.
Fact-check: Scammers cannot obtain personal or bank details through the 'One-Ring' phone scam, nor can they steal SIM card information using #90 or #09 codes - FACTLY
Verdict: the post highlights the 'one-ring' phone scam, where scammers exploit the opportunity to collect commissions from high international rates or connection fees imposed on individuals for making international calls. however, the scam does not enable the theft of contact list details or bank information. also, the scammers cannot access the sim card details by making an individual dial #90 or #09 codes on his/her mobile phone. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
