Informing the Cybercrime Prosecution Directorate to the citizens in order to avoid being deceived by mass messages, which are sent through a well-known messaging application (Messenger)
The messages in question are circulated through a well-known "messenger" application για έξυπνα κινητά phones, where they inform the recipient that they have won a mobile phone from a well-known company, especially of great value
We urge citizens to be very careful not to persuade and opt out of the proposed hyperlinks, nor to respond to such messages because they refer to fraudulent high-pay subscription service

In particular, recipients of the disputed messages are random users of the application, informed that the owner of the particular mobile number has been selected and has won a mobile phone of a known company, of particular value.
They are then encouraged either to select a hyperlink sent to the message to finish sending the phone, or to type their postal address or telephone number.
If users are convinced and opt for the suggested way of supposedly sending the phone, they unknowingly activate their participation in high-paying subscription service.
