Police remind
Scammers often falsely claim that you are suspected of violating the law and committing crimes, and ask for cooperation with the investigation in a stern tone to induce money transfers. Please keep in mind that the public security department will not handle cases by phone or online, let alone ask for transfers and remittances. In such a situation, it is important to stay calm, verify through formal channels, and do not fall into the trap of fraud.
