A post falsely presented as an official announcement by the police is circulating on social media, including Instagram and Facebook, the police said on Monday.

The post refers to the alleged dismantling of an investment fraud network and urges people to click on a link for further instructions.

The police said the scam aimed at misleading users and extracting personal or financial details from them.

People are advised to avoid following links of unknown origin and divulging sensitive information, such as bank account details or passwords.
