Malta Police has warned of fraudulent emails from scammers impersonating Interpol. In a statement, the police said that several people have received such emails in recent days.
Written in Maltese the e-mails warn victims that they are being investigated by police. The emails also tell the victim to make contact with an official from the so-called “Brigade for the Protection of Minors”.
Attached to the email is a document in English informing the victim that he is being investigated for pornography, paedophilia, and child abduction, among other charges.
“This email is nothing but a scam!” the police said. “If you receive it… ignore it.”
