The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) on Tuesday issued a cautionary advisory to the public concerning the proliferation of e-messages across various social media applications and platforms, alleging the presence of surveillance and recording of calls and communications.

In an official statement released via its verified social media page, the regulatory body implored citizens to exercise discernment and refrain from succumbing to such circulated messages, which often contain misleading information.

The TRC underscored the importance of verifying the accuracy of any messages by initiating direct contact with pertinent entities.
