The Police Warn - Hang up if you are contacted by someone who makes this type of attempt. Remember that police personnel would never contact you in this way. Scammers are unfortunately often skilled, empathetic, and persistent. Do not trust the caller even if they seem credible and have personal information about you. Also, remember not to let unknown people into your home.

Contact the police if you, or someone you know, has been exposed to fraud or even an attempted fraud. If the crime is in progress, you should call 112. Otherwise, you can reach us via phone number 114 14.
