Three female Vietnamese domestic helpers were caught on Wednesday for operating fake base stations, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said yesterday during a special briefing.
A fake base station is telecom equipment which sends out a signal, disconnecting mobile phone users in an area from their base stations and who then receive messages from the fake one instead.
According to the spokesperson, the first suspect, surnamed Bui, is 37 years old while the second suspect, surnamed Le, is aged 38. The third suspect, surnamed Nguyen, is 39 years old.
