The Po­lice Ser­vice has is­sued an­oth­er stern warn­ing to the pub­lic to re­main vig­i­lant against fi­nan­cial scams and to ver­i­fy all re­quests for mon­ey trans­fers, es­pe­cial­ly those in­volv­ing cur­ren­cy ex­change or pur­port­ing to be for ur­gent med­ical sit­u­a­tions.

The re­minder comes as two men from Ma­yaro are sched­uled to ap­pear to­day (May 9, 2025) be­fore a Princes Town Mas­ters Court South A, on charges of lar­ce­ny by trick.

Ac­cord­ing to an of­fi­cial TTPS state­ment, the men were for­mal­ly charged in con­nec­tion with a lar­ce­ny by trick case, in which a San Fer­nan­do den­tist was de­fraud­ed of TT$190,000 in a bo­gus cur­ren­cy ex­change scheme.
