Nationwide, there has been an increase in the number of fraudulent phone calls claiming to be from police officers, with a sharp rise in the number of victims among people of all ages, including the elderly as well as young people.
Suddenly, a caller claims to be a police officer and says
"Your account or phone is being used for criminal purposes."
"Your account or phone is being used to commit a crime." ! This call is a scam ! Hang up immediately !
After this,
"Cooperate with our investigation or you will be arrested."
"You have a duty of confidentiality. If you tell anyone, I will arrest you."
After leading you to a social networking site or video call, they show you a fake police identification card or arrest warrant to make you trust them, and then defraud you by making you transfer your assets through online banking or other means under the guise of an investigation.

!
Police will not contact you via social networking sites or video calls
