Poland police warn that scammers are targeting families with messages that look like they come from a child, starting with “Mamo, to mój nowy numer.” The fraud begins as a seemingly innocent notification, then quickly turns into a request to move the conversation to a messaging app. The next step is a problem that, according to the scammers, can only be solved immediately. Police describe that the victim is pressured to send money through a quick bank transfer to an account provided by the fraudsters. For a mother, the opening message can sound like a normal situation, where her child needs help. But police say the person behind the screen may be an impostor using the urgency of the request to make relatives act fast. Latest: the case remains part of police efforts to warn the public about this phone and messenger-based fraud method.
