Maldives Police Service (MPS) has revealed that 41 cases of illegal money extortion have been submitted last week.
In recent times, there have been many cases of fraud and deception using email addresses to extort money from many people and such cases are still being investigated. The Economic Crime Department of the MPS has found a high number of cases of fraud and deception. There have been many cases of people using their email addresses to access the bank's services and obtain money.
MPS has revealed such cases of fraud and deception are challenging to investigate, and recovering lost money in such cases is also a difficult task. MPS has asked the public to be cautious that different people call you under different names to get your personal information, email, cash card information, and other important information, but the most important step is not to share such information. The police has also advised users to tighten security and pay special attention not to share the OTP code that comes to their phones with anyone.
