Concretamente, el interlocutor comunica el secuestro de un familiar y pide un rescate que se ha de hacer de forma urgente. Ante esta situación, la policía recomienda no pagar nada a nadie y llamar al 091 para alertar sobre lo ocurrido.
“Por muy realista que suene, mantén la calma y no cedas al chantaje. Es un secuestro virtual”, advierte la Policía en el tuit. “Es una estafa, no pagues y llama al 091”, añaden.
