Viber Scam Alert: Beware of Fake Job Offers

Police are receiving reports of fraudulent messages circulating via Viber. These messages, sent to random recipients, falsely claim to be from companies offering high-paying job opportunities. The scammers aim to deceive and extract money or personal data. Police advise citizens to be particularly cautious with messages containing unknown links and to refrain from clicking on them. A sample malicious message from a sender named "Nicoleta" has been publicized, but scammers are using other sender names as well.
