Fraudulent emails posing as the police are currently circulating. The senders impersonate various police authorities as well as individuals. Calls in the name of fake authorities (police, customs) are occurring with increasing frequency.
Please do not reply to these emails, and do not respond to requests made by telephone. Report them to the NCSC.
