Multiple calls suspected as scams by over 5000 individuals
Hey there! Let's talk about MTS's efforts in the Primorsky Krai, shall we? In Q1 of 2025, their "Guardian" service took on the challenge of sorting out over two million spam calls that plagued residents of the region. That's right, MTS kept those pesky calls at bay, saving Primorye folk over seven and a half years worth of time that could have been wasted on telemarketers, scammers, and spammers.
Interestingly, the number of unwanted calls suspiciously doubled compared to last year. Now, if you've ever found yourself on the receiving end of a five-thousand-call streak, you'll be grateful to know that MTS managed to block all of those unwanted calls targeting a poor Vladivostok resident. The average duration of these calls? A mere 17 seconds. Thank goodness for that.
Breaking down the types of calls Primorye residents received, financial organizations were the most common culprits, followed by ads for services and surveys. Collection agencies and companies offering goods and services came next, with calls from potential scammers rounding out the list of most unwanted calls.
Yevgenia Sisoeva, the Director of MTS in the Primorsky Krai, weighed in on the issue, noting, "As the number of unwanted calls and attempted fraudulent attacks in Primorye continues to grow, we're constantly improving our services."
