In a press release, the Anti-Corruption Commission reports around fifteen cases of people impersonating its officers or members of the police force recently.
The crooks are contacting people by telephone to inform them that they are under investigation and could soon be arrested. These people are asked to go to a public place to discuss and find a solution in exchange for a sum of money.
The Icac informs the public that its officers never summon people by telephone but by official letter. Furthermore, no member of the Icac goes alone to summon a person whose presence is required.
Anyone receiving such calls is advised to report the incident immediately to the Icac.
