POLICE WARN AGAINST SCAMMER PRETENDING TO BE HIT BY CARS




From Cyprus Mail - article by Annette Chrysostomou 20 June 2018


Police are warning the public about a new scam to get money from drivers which has been observed in the wider Nicosia area where the fraudsters pretend to have been hit by cars.

In at least two cases, a woman who is believed to be around 50 years old, dressed in black, moved around near cars stopped at traffic lights and then fell down, pretending a car hit her and that she was injured, police said.
In one of the cases the woman reportedly got €200 from a driver saying she needed to get to a hospital.

Police have called on the public to be careful and to contact the nearest police station or the citizens’ hotline at 1460 should they witness such an incident.
