Users can do various things including providing crime information, filling a complaint or make any inquiries related to a crime.

The main purpose of creating this WhatsApp channel is to improve PDRM services to its community. Malaysians who wish to know more about an existing police report, they have to provide the report number including the screenshot of the report. People who don’t know about CCID Infoline, it is a channel to supply information on commercial crimes such as scams, e-commerce crimes, and frauds cases.

Netizens can reach this channel via WhatsApp at +6013-211 1222. Make sure you don’t call the number directly because the CCID Infoline does not accept voice calls.

At the same time, when netizens provide information, immediate actions can be taken against the criminals.
