Police Warn Of Scam Calls On WhatsApp
The Bermuda Police Service [BPS] has “received reports of persons receiving WhatsApp video calls from individuals claiming to represent the BPS.”
A police spokesperson said, “So far, the calls are being made from telephone numbers:
+92 343 4087943
+92 349 9513663
+92 322 4135776
“These numbers show up with a BPS crest as the caller’s WhatsApp display picture.
“+92, is the international country code for Pakistan. Bermuda’s international country code is of course +441.
“Should you accept WhatsApp video calls, or any other calls from the numbers shown or similar and the caller claims to be from the Bermuda Police Service, we advise that you immediately hang up and do not provide any information if requested.”

“Bermuda’s international country code is of course +441″
Sorry, Bermuda’s “area code” is 441. Bermuda’s “country code” is “1″, the same as the United States, Canada, the Bahamas and other north Atlantic places.
Silly me, so why are our ISPs and Telcos not being alerted by BPS to block those numbers?
Police to busy?
Because your all too stupid to know a scam from a pram.
