Fraudsters continue to successfully extort money from nothing suspecting residents. A 56-year-old resident of Paphos lost 2000 euros. Meanwhile, the Cyprus electric company warns that false messages are sent on its behalf.
2000 euros were stolen from the bank account of a 56-year-old resident of Paphos as a result of fraud on June 26. The man received a text message from the swindlers, which said that an unpaid penalty for road violation was listed behind him. He crossed the online link, where he was asked to enter personal data and account data.
The police called on the public to be especially careful and advised not to respond to suspicious messages or emails. Notifications of fines come only with a paper letter, but not SMS.
Meanwhile, the Cyprus electric company reported that false messages are also sending on her behalf. A letter comes to the victim’s e -mail under the title “Final Notification”. It refers to the need to pay the debt on the account, otherwise the power outage will follow. A fabricated account number is given. Payment is supposedly accepted by reference in the letter.
The electric company of Cyprus warns that this newsletter is carried out by scammers.
The text is prepared based on the materials of Cyprus Mail and Politis.
