In the last few days there have been complaints to the police by citizens who receive phone calls from strangers who try to defraud them in order to extort money from them.
In particular, they receive a call from an unknown number and are told that their daughter, son or relatives have been involved in traffic collisions and that there is an urgent need for them to undergo surgery.
To this end, ostensibly to cover medical expenses, the fraudsters are asking for a sum of money.
Therefore, the Police urge the public to be particularly cautious and in case they receive such a call to inform the Police.
"The public is generally requested, if they become aware of any such incident that appears to be related to these cases, to contact the nearest Police Station or the Citizen's Contact Line at 1460," the Police said.
