The Judiciary Police once again warned the public in a statement yesterday to beware of fraudulent text messages sent by purported courier companies.
The Judiciary Police have received reports from residents that they received a text message with an unknown link on their mobile phone, claiming that there was a problem with the delivery information of their package, requiring them to click on the link and enter their name, address, and credit card information for confirmation before they were supposedly allowed to receive the package.
In view of the frequent telecom scams occurring in Macau and causing financial losses, the Judiciary Police once more strongly urged the public to be vigilant against such scams and not to click on any unknown links with unknown sources, while verifying the source of information via official channels.
Anyone who suspects that they have fallen victim to fraud or other crimes should call the PJ’s hotline on 993 or the fraud prevention hotline on 8800 7777.
This poster provided by the Judiciary Police yesterday warns the public to beware of bogus text messages (SMSs) from ‘courier companies’.
