A new telephone scam appears to be taking on major proportions, with police urging people to be particularly careful.
The Police, as it says in a statement, "have recently received several complaints from citizens about suspicious telephone calls, in which fraudsters pretend to be officials of International Insurance Services and/or the Police, telling unsuspecting citizens that their Social Security Number is being misused".
Specifically, "citizens receive phone calls from fake numbers that appear to be genuine Cypriot mobile phone numbers and initially receive a recorded message falsely informing them in English that their social security number has been misused".
