Three new attempts of victimization of our fellow citizens, through telephone fraud, have been prevented in recent days, following the contacts of the Police with banking institutions.
Our three fellow citizens received a phone call from fraudsters, who pretended to be doctors, who convinced them to give them money for an allegedly urgent surgery of a relative of theirs. After going to the bank to withdraw the specific sums of money they were asked for, the tellers suspected what was going on and by their actions prevented the fraud.
Incidents of telephone fraud of this kind continue, with the police having already taken specific actions to protect the public, prevent further incidents and identify the perpetrators.
At the same time, the police are once again calling on citizens to be particularly careful. At the same time, it appeals to every citizen to inform their own people and especially the elderly, who as usual are the target of the perpetrators.
The public is also called upon in the event of receiving such a call or if something relevant comes to their attention to contact the Police immediately through the nearest Police Station or through the Citizen's Line, at the telephone number 1460.
