MANADO - The Head of Public Relations of the North Sulawesi Police, Kombes Jules Abraham Abast, appealed to the public to be careful of fraudulent modes on behalf of someone or an official who asks for a sum of money.
"This is happening, especially when these irresponsible people know that there is a change of officials in an agency. Potential victims will be contacted by phone or text message, using the names of officials," said Abast, in Manado, quoted by Antara, Friday, November 12. .
He asked the public not to easily believe in the actions of these elements.
In the National Police itself, including the North Sulawesi Regional Police and the ranks, there is currently a transfer of officials. Usually there are people who take advantage of this moment to take the names of Polri officials and ask the public for some money for various reasons.
"If this happens, we ask the public not to believe it immediately but to confirm it first, don't be easily tricked or persuaded. Please contact the police for confirmation," said Abast.
