Complaints about phone scams to extort money continue Citizens are urged to be particularly careful
Fraudsters continue to call citizens pretending to be doctors. They inform them that, allegedly, a relative has been injured and needs surgery and ask them to pay large sums of money.
The perpetrators seem to in some cases call with a hidden number and ask citizens not to disconnect the phone call, so that they cannot contact their relative or the police.
The authorities recommend special attention and appeal to citizens if they receive similar types of phone calls to immediately inform the Police by contacting the nearest Police Station or the Citizen's Line on telephone number 1460.
