Recently, there has been a surge in incidents of citizens being defrauded via text messages (SMS) on their cell phones, in which the perpetrators falsely claim to be the Cyprus Police.
These messages contain a link through which the perpetrators urge recipients to make a purported out-of-court fine payment. Their goal is to steal personal and banking information, as well as to extort money.
