Company in Nicosia Loses Over €120,000 in Online Fraud

A company in Nicosia has fallen victim to online fraud, losing over €120,000. The perpetrators used a false email, appearing to be from a partner company, to convince the company to make transfers to a new, fraudulent bank account. The fraud took place between November and January, and the company realized the deception when it contacted its partner directly. Police are investigating the case and are warning the public to verify bank details by phone before making any payments.
