E-mail sent on behalf of the agency promotes supposed application created to assist in the inclusion of the ninth digit in cell numbers with prefix 11
The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) reported that an e-mail circulating on the internet promoting a supposed new application to include the ninth digit in the numbers of cell phones in operation in São Paulo is false. The e-mail is being sent to internet users since yesterday morning.
The e-mail suggests that the user press a button in the message itself, which supposedly would lead to download the application. However, when you press the button, the user is directed to an unknown site where downloads an executable file infected by malware.
Anatel reported, by e-mail, the message is false and therefore warns users not to click on any links in the email informed, and be careful not to download the executable file.
The agency also recommends that users who accessed the email delete the message immediately upon receipt.
Ninth digit started in July
All cell lines in Greater São Paulo (prefix 11) earned one more digit on July 29. The number nine was included as the first number of lines, in order to make room for the creation of new cell numbers.
The measure affects not only those who are in Sao Paulo and had his number changed. Anyone who has a contact with the prefix 11 will have to change the number.
