PUTRAJAYA (May 10): The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has cautioned the public about potential scams involving the official Rahmah cash aid (STR) or Rahmah basic donation (Sara) lines, where large payments are requested.

In a statement on Friday, the MOF warned that these calls are random and advised the public to report these to the police if they receive any.

“The MOF strictly prohibits third parties from using MOF’s official telephone numbers,” the statement read.

In addition, the MOF said its officers are not authorised to collect payments from the public for any purpose.

For any enquiries about the STR or Sara assistance programmes, the public can still contact the MOF helplines at 03-8882-4565/4566.
