Scammers stole €47,406 in another online‑fraud case under police investigation.

Police said a Paphos resident received an anonymous call claiming his bank account was at risk.

The caller then directed him to a separate website to “unblock” the account, leading to the electronic theft of the money.

Authorities urged the public to be cautious when receiving suspicious links and to contact their bank directly before taking any action.
