Although the Police are not certain about the number of people who may have fallen victim to the scam, it said the fraudsters usually call unsuspecting persons via, 0505570000 and 0557416657.

It said the fraudsters usually introduced themselves as either the Deputy Regional Commander or other senior officials of the Police Service.
