The Maldives Police Services (MPS) has issued a crucial advisory urging citizens to verify the authenticity of suspicious payment transfer slips. With an increase in reported cases of forged documents, MPS emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing any slips that raise suspicion.

To help prevent potential scams, the Police recommend several counter-measures. Always check the slip's legitimacy if there’s any doubt. In addition to be mindful of discrepancies in the appearance and format of payment slips.

The MPS has been proactive in alerting the public about fraudulent activities, especially regarding slips that are generated by specialized software or applications. These counterfeit documents often seem convincingly authentic and are designed to mislead recipients into believing they are legitimate. As this time , it’s been noted by police that the forged slips are made using an app or a software dedicated to create these. 

Citizens are encouraged to remain cautious and to report any suspicious activity immediately to assist in combating these fraud attempts.
