CAUTION - NEW PHONE CALL FRAUD

 Filenews 17 October 2020



Particular attention is recommended to the public by the Police, in order to protect against fraudulent phone calls made to citizens and aimed at the posting of details of their bank accounts, as well as other personal information.

According to an update received by the Police from a number of citizens, telephone calls appear to be made from telephone numbers in Cyprus which are however false. It is believed that telephone calls are made from abroad and to hide the actual telephone numbers of the perpetrators, they are used as a name non-existent telephone numbers similar to telephone numbers of Cyprus. In other cases, instead of a telephone number, the name of banking institutions is displayed on the citizens' telephone screen.

The perpetrators, in their conversation with citizens who answer phone calls, say they are the operators of banking institutions where citizens maintain bank accounts and claim that there is a problem in the operation of citizens' bank accounts. To solve the problem, the perpetrators request the details of citizens' bank accounts, as well as other personal information.

Using these citizens' data and their bank accounts, the perpetrators of the fraud are able to extract money from citizens' bank accounts.

The Police recommend special attention to the public who receive these phone calls and not to report to any person by telephone, any bank account details and other personal data.
