Police recently received several complaints that suspicious emails were sent to the public by Cyprus police.Email is sent from the address [email protected] They also inform citizens that they have been involved in various crimes (sexual assault, rape, child pornography, etc.) and should be prosecuted.

The misleading emails were sent from a fictitious address and bear the logos of the Cypriot and Greek police, according to a police statement.

The police have informed the public that these messages have nothing to do with the Cyprus police. If you receive such a message, be very careful and do not respond.
