CyTA issues warning about fraudsters

CyTA is cautioning people to against fraudsters that are pretending to be company staff and offering alternative connectivity services to clients.

Lately, CyTA said it has received a number of questions on complaints over a ‘campaign’ in which people visit client homes posing as staff.

The frauds ask for information of their phone and internet connectivity asking them for a phone bill. They then proceed to suggest and inform them of alternative solutions.

CyTA said they have nothing to do with such a campaign and the people are not company staff. They will take action against anyone that tries to benefit using the company name, CyTA said.

It calls on the public to report such incidents to police or the Consumers Association and be particularly careful.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
