Attempts by cunning men to deceive innocent citizens with a new false label circulating – fraudulent message – continue.
In this specific case, the perpetrators are using their leader’s data Greek PoliceLieutenant General Dimitrios Mallios, but to give “authenticity” to their letter, they use the logo of the Hellenic Police.
More specifically, the perpetrators, posing as competent audit authorities, distribute letters via e-mail and attempt to deceive citizens – Internet users, under the pretext that the recipient is involved in a case of pornography and other crimes.
As EL.AS points out, the specific message is obviously false and fraudulent and is sent by perpetrators who are obviously trying to deceive – to deceive citizens and subsequently obtain an illegal financial benefit.
Citizens are asked not to reply and delete the specific message, as well as “not to open” the attached files to avoid being infected by malicious software.
Please note that further tips to avoid defrauding citizens are published on the Hellenic Police website (www.astynomia.gr), in the “Citizen’s Guide/Useful Tips” section, while additional information and advice on electronic fraud incidents can be found on the Directorate’s website Electronic Crime Charge, www.cyberalert.gr.
