Police have seen a number of scam cases involving persons impersonating a police officer or father who worked together to extort money over the phone from male victims. In the cases reported, the male victim had responded to an online advertisement on one of several websites featuring a scantily clad female offering massage or escort services.
Members of public are advised to take the following preventive measures when responding to online advertisements:
1) Be wary of messages or calls from unknown people.
2) If anyone attempts to extort money from you or should you become a victim of such an attempt, call the police immediately.
3) Do not remit or transfer money.
