Beware: New Phone Scam - What to Watch Out For

The Police are warning the public about a new form of phone scam. Scammers, using phone numbers that appear to be Cypriot, are contacting citizens and informing them that they have won a sum of money. They then lead them to open an account on an online investment platform to claim it. The Police urge citizens to be particularly careful and not to respond to these instructions, as they are aimed at financially deceiving them. This warning comes as part of the ongoing efforts of the authorities to combat fraud and protect citizens.
