It said that these communications are not official and have not been authorized by the organization.

The Ministry further urged all attendees to remain vigilant against unsolicited requests for card numbers or WhatsApp contact details. It also asked the attendees to rely only on official channels for any event-related updates. The Ministry said that if any individual has already shared their information via a suspicious link then they should contact their bank immediately to secure accounts.
