Recommendations from the Police
Due to ongoing complaints from citizens, who receive phone calls from fraudsters posing as doctors, the Police recommends for the umpteenth time to citizens to be particularly careful.
The perpetrators are asking them to pay large sums of money because supposedly a relative has been injured and needs surgery.[BRP]Often they call by masking the call and ask people not to disconnect the call, so that they cannot contact their relative or the police.
"We recommend special attention and call on citizens if they receive such calls to immediately inform the Police by contacting the nearest Police Station or the Citizen's Line at the telephone number 1460," the Police said in a statement.
