Telecom industry warns public against frauds around mobile tower installation

The telecom industry, represented by associations COAI and TAIPA, on Thursday warned the public against frauds related to the installation of mobile towers on properties. While COAI is the representative body of telecom service providers, TAIPA represents telecom infrastructure firms.

“The public is cautioned against certain companies, agencies, or individuals who are fraudulently approaching people and asking them to deposit money in their personal or company accounts in the name of tax for leasing their premises for installation of mobile towers,” a joint statement by the associations said.
