The city's public security authority has issued a public warning against
swindlers pretending to be policemen and cajoling citizens to transfer money
into their accounts.
Police said in one case, a swindler called
residents pretending to be a telecommunication company employee, claiming the
phones had problems and the residents owed fees. Police said he then transferred
the call to a man pretending to be a police official who told the residents that
their accounts and personal information were unsafe and he needed to transfer
money to another account. All victims were over 50, police said.
