Repost due to importance / Very important reminder / Be cautious when responding to calls from private and unknown numbers, and if invited to unknown places or centers whose identities are not clear to you, do not go unless there is a judicial order

Calls from private numbers are not necessarily from the country's security and intelligence agencies. Be very cautious when responding and giving out telephone information to them, and maintain your composure. Do not be afraid and ask the caller to provide an official, fixed, and clear number from the entity they claim to represent to verify their identity.

Although provisioning and activating this special service in the Islamic Republic is done with caution and significant security considerations, besides specific centers like military, security organizations, their affiliates, and offices of senior and special officials in the country; senior and special individuals such as members of the Expediency Discernment Council, the Guardian Council, the Islamic Consultative Assembly, and even university presidents, judges, equivalent positions, senior military officers, and special security personnel—not every rank—also use the caller ID blocking service on their mobile phones and lines.

Thus, believing that all calls exclusively come from security apparatuses is incorrect and a misconception.

Moreover, this service is easily activated by fixed and mobile operators for their subscribers abroad, and there is also the possibility of calls coming from outside the country, which could potentially be misused.

Therefore, it is best to be extremely cautious when responding to such calls and avoid invitations to unnamed security, intelligence, and judicial centers unless the center or press office is completely known, public, and famous.

Additionally, technically tracking such calls is easily possible for security agencies and operators.

If you feel any misuse or identity fraud from any anonymous call or private number, it is better to report to the relevant security centers depending on where the caller introduces themselves from, specifying the exact time of the call and the number they contacted you from.

In this case, the responsibility for summoning you lies with that agency, and no physical, fraudulent, or criminal threat will endanger you.
