The police, in a statement, said: “Recipients of these fraudulent calls are threatened with stoppage of their salaries if they fail to comply with their demands.”
The police has, therefore, urged members of the public, especially public sector workers, not to share their details on phone and other social media platforms.
The citizenry has also been asked to alert the police of any transaction they find suspicious.
