The Interior Ministry on Tuesday urged the Egyptian citizens to be careful and on the alert over dubious methods for collecting information about Egypt that is aimed at undermining national security.

In a released statement, the ministry warned the citizens of fake media companies that are collecting information about the internal situation in Egypt.

The ministry has recently received several reports from citizens about phone calls from these companies claiming that they are undertaking opinion polls regarding the economic, political and security conditions in Egypt.
