Police warn over hiking fraud dollars sales
Immigration and police are taking action against expatriate workers selling dollars on the black market.
Police said on Sunday that fraud and extortion through various social media platforms claiming to sell dollars is increasing.
There are occasional cases of people not receiving dollars when they transfer money to buy dollars from people who have advertised themselves as selling dollars on various social media sites.
Police on Sunday urged people to be vigilant as such cases are on the rise again.
When buying and selling foreign currency, police advise people not to deal with trusted and legally authorised persons.
The agency said people should be aware of such things to avoid becoming victims of scams.
