New Warnings About Impersonating Bank Employees: How They Scam and Fleece Citizens

The Police are warning the public about scams perpetrated by individuals posing as bank employees. The perpetrators contact citizens, falsely claiming there is a problem with their bank accounts or cards. They then request personal and banking details with the intention of stealing money through online transactions. Police advise citizens not to share personal data and to verify the identity of callers through official bank channels. Those who have already provided their details should immediately inform their bank.
