They keep going attempts by con artists to deceive unsuspecting citizenswith a fraudulent website circulating, using their logo Greek Police.
In particular, the perpetrators created and disseminated electronically (email, SMS, etc.) a hyperlink that leads to a fraudulent website, through which it is stated that a victim of fraud can submit a claim for compensation, citing for this purpose his/her personal information.
In fact, they use the Greek Police logo, as well as other official symbols and authorities of the European Union, in their attempt to give “authenticity” to the fraudulent website and create the impression that it is a Greek Police website.
In this context, EL.AS. points out that the website referred to in the hyperlink is obviously false and fraudulent and is sent by authors who obviously seek to deceive – to deceive citizens and subsequently obtain illegal financial benefits.
Citizens are asked not to respond and delete this specific message, as well as “not to open” hyperlinks from unknown sources or 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 Processing, www.cyberalert.gr.
