SIM Swap Scam

Sharing these information to the community:

SIM SWAP SCAM involves the following:

The criminal, now introducing him/herself as a Telco Agent, will call the victim (whose cellphone signal suddenly disappeared) that his/her mobile number was erroneously blocked/deactivated; that the Telco is working on it to restore the cellphone signal/reactivate the mobile number in the next 24 to 36 hours.

How can the person be contacted when the SIM card is not working anymore? Won't the person notice that the number calling is not a trunkline number?
