New warning from police on phone scams Increased complaints from citizens from all provinces How they operate and what to watch out for
Large scale the new telephone scam.
[/P]Police are constantly receiving complaints from citizens in all provinces who have received such calls.
How they operate and what to look out for
As reported in a previous Cyprus Times[/URL], citizens are receiving phone calls from bogus numbers that appear to be genuine Cypriot mobile phone numbers and initially with a recorded message falsely informing them in English that their social security number has been misused.
They are then referred to a call centre where they ask unsuspecting citizens to disclose their personal and banking details in order to defraud them.
The public are advised to be particularly careful not to disclose their personal and banking details to any person and, where possible, to attempt to confirm the authenticity of the calling service.
