ELAS draws the attention of citizens as it is ongoing fraud on the “Caller ID spoofing” method. In particular, lately the skeptics, who have been pretending to call on the part of the Cybercrime Prosecution or Associates, are trying to deceive unsuspecting citizens or to steal personal data.
As noted in the announcement, according to complaints made to ELAS, the perpetrators appear to make calls from phone number 2144027860, which belongs to the call center of the Cybercrime Division, but is not able to outbound calls.
To do this, they use the “Caller ID spoofing” method, with which, through the use of mainly Voice Over IP (VOIP) services, they misrepresent the information displayed in the recipient’s call recognition to convince them that the calls come from reliable organizations or companies while hiding their actual identity.
In this case, they claim that they call on behalf of the cybercrime or as partners, and are trying to deceive the citizens, on the pretext that there are accounts in their names with cryptocurrencies and that they will help to recover.
In this context, ELAS calls citizens:
• Be very careful with telephone calls that appear to come from public organizations or companies (eg police, interpol, banks, etc.) and the interlocutor calls for sensitive personal or banking data.
• If they accept a similar call or during a call they suspect they are trying to deceive them, end the call and confirm its authenticity through the official carrier on a case -by -case basis.
• Immediately inform the Police, even in the event of an attempted fraud against them.
It is recalled that citizens can communicate, anonymously or surnames, with the Directorate of Cybercrime, in order to provide information or to denounce illegal or intuitive acts or activities performed online in the following contact information:
• Telephone: 11188
• E-mail to: [email protected]
• via Twitter: @Cybelertgr
• Through Gov.gr in the Citizen Unity and daily life / complaints / complaints about cybercrime crimes
• Through the Application for Smart Phones: Cyberkd
