The Judiciary Police (PJ) believe that the fraudsters in the recent wave of phone scams made the calls from foreign countries and not the mainland, PJ spokesman Choi Ian Fai said during a regular press conference yesterday.
The Judiciary Police have said that phone scam cases have been reported “frequently” since early this year. The first wave of phone scams occurred in March and April, the police have said.
The police have said that the second wave of phone scam cases started on July 20. In most of the reported phone scam cases this year, fraudsters pretended to be local or mainland police officers.
