Now fraud tele caller who already obtain 4G request number from service provider. He will ask us to send that number to mobile provider sim swap help desk number.  As per record of mobile provider they received request from you to transfer your 3G to 4G. 4G ownership given to new 20 digit number which you send. Now your 3 G sim will be inactivated and fraud gets access to your mobile number with 4G.
