KATHMANDU, Jan 17: Are new numbers calling you? Or are you receiving messages with enticing offers from a new email ID? If so, be cautious! Do not trust messages or conversations from these emails or numbers. They could even leave you homeless.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Deepak Raj Awasthi, spokesperson for the Nepal Police Cyber Bureau, urges the public not to answer such calls or trust and respond to emails from unfamiliar sources. He emphasizes the need for special caution, as people have been deceived by responding to messages from unknown individuals and unfamiliar email addresses.

SP Awasthi shared that individuals have complained to the Nepal Police Headquarters and the Cyber Bureau about receiving warning emails using the names and ranks of senior officers and specialized departments, including the Cyber Bureau. He emphasized that the Bureau has taken this issue seriously. He added, "These emails, claiming to be sent from the Nepal Police Cyber Bureau or other police offices, are fake. We respectfully ask everyone not to trust or respond to such emails."
The Bureau is investigating such emails and has requested the public to report any suspicious emails through the contact numbers and email addresses listed on its official website.
The Bureau has also issued a public notice urging people to stay alert about such activities and report any suspicions to the nearest police station.
