The police advised the citizens to remain vigilant and take proactive measures to safeguard themselves against cyber fraud. Always verify the source of unsolicited calls, messages, or emails before sharing personal or financial information.

People verify the status of any package directly on the official ‘FedEx’, website and avoid clicking on links received via SMS or email or WhatsApp, as scammers often use these avenues to manipulate victims.

The police warned scammers on Telegram and WhatsApp messages about easy part-time jobs like liking videos. The fraudsters start with small payments to gain your trust, and then trick you into sharing personal information or investing more money, before vanishing with cash. Never share sensitive information like bank account details, passwords, or social security numbers with strangers or unverified entities, authorities advised.
