Head of the Counter Terrorism and Organized Crime Unit (CTOC), Assistant Commissioner of Police, Clifford Chambers says they are now on top of the Wangiri Scam.

On the weekend, a number of subscribers on the Digicel network received phone calls which appeared to be originating from Poland.

ACP Chambers says their collaboration with INTERPOL has yielded much fruit.

ACP Chambers says the cooperation of local telecommunication providers, Digicel and Flow has also been a great help.

Both companies have issued press releases to customers about the scam and have been working with the police to block the offending numbers.

Wangiri is a Japanese word meaning “one ring and cut”.

ACP Chambers is still urging Jamaicans to be vigilant.
