Recently, officers of Komenda Powiatowa Policji w Bolesławcu recorded a number of reports concerning scams in which criminals take over social media accounts. Komenda:
Then, pretending to be friends, they send messages via messaging apps asking recipients to generate a payment code. They explain this by claiming they need to pay for an order or service, that there is a problem with the bank, or that they temporarily lack funds in their account, promising a quick refund.
Police add: – Always check whom you are giving a payment code to, even if the request arrives by SMS or through a messaging app and the sender is identified as your friend. Residents of Bolesławiec County – do not let yourselves be scammed!
