Sim card could get cloned, if you call back to +92*, #90 or #09

Just saw following on ZeeNews website and it is coming in Google news , technology section.

News stated that:
If you will get call from numbers starting with +92*, #90 or #09 , do not call back otherwise your SIM will be cloned.

Can anyone confirm that, if it is possible to clone SIM over network?😨

    Lets talk about why is it difficult or, may be, impossible to clone a sim card by just a call-back.
    Here is something to be chewed on.

    Then, why this media spreading rumor about it..👎
    I have gone through this article , I am wondering if anyone in telecom sector can clarify this doubt.

    For the records sake, I've gotten 3 missed calls from number: +37090905204

    I tried calling back and no one picked up the phone. I doubt sim cloning through call is possible.

    +37 is Germany country code.... or may be someone on on skype (My friend call from Australia with number +37*** using skype). News is saying only above number *are dangerous* , while +92 is Pakistan country code.

    #-Link-Snipped-# Thank you for update. Yes the phone seems to be from Germany and I had to call back to verify whether it's anything related to business.

    In either case, SIM cloning seems quite unlikely.
