00:00The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center is now targeting the number of phone scams in the country.
00:07According to the data from the Who's Call app of Dogo Look, a trust firm of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center,
00:15the number of text scams is low, but the number of scam calls in the first quarter of 2025 is higher.
00:21More than 600,000 SMS scams were reported in the first quarter of 2025.
00:26This is lower than 68% compared to more than 2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
00:33More than 200,000 phone scams were reported in the fourth quarter of 2024.
00:38This is higher than 74% compared to more than 350,000 phone scams in the first quarter of 2025.
00:46According to CICC Undersecretary Alexander Ramos,
00:50the conversion rate is higher when scammers talk to their victims.
00:55That's why these scams were transferred to phone scams.
00:59They need to have a quarterly update on the instant messaging platforms so that these can be removed.
01:06The agency has reached an agreement and is implementing an action for this.
01:13They are detecting that they are being blocked.
01:16At the end of the day, if you are the scammer, or look at it as a business, you need a conversion.
01:25How many percent can you convert?
01:28And I think this is one of the methods they saw.
01:31The conversion rate is high when they talk to the victims.
