Speaking at a press conference at Iskander Barracks, Superintendent of Police Abdulla Rasheed said 28,003 scam cases had been recorded, that cases fell to 971 in 2023 from 1,087 in 2022, and that the amount defrauded last year was higher than the previous year.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Since 2021, when we started keeping records, we have received 28,003 cases; 28,003 cases of various types of scams with a total loss of MVR 57.8 million. Not just Maldivian Rufiyaa it includes US dollars; around US$ 64 lakhs
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The amount of money defrauded by scammers from the public, since the Police started keeping records, has exceeded MVR 150 million, the agency said.
