199 is the phone call fraudulent?

The phone number at the beginning of this number is not necessarily a scam.

The telephone number at the beginning of 199 is a new model segment introduced by China's telecom operators, which is mainly used for virtual operator services. Because virtual operator's business is flexible, some people may use this number to cheat. But not all phone numbers that start with 199 are fraudulent calls. The regular 199 number can also be used for normal communication, such as government department announcements and corporate customer service.
