Police warn of circulation of emails using name of CID Director

Authorities have reported that someone is sending out fake emails that pretend to be from Shani Abeysekara, the Director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The Police Media Division confirmed in a statement that these emails were not created or approved by the CID. The fraudulent emails are being sent from the addresses noucinatacha20@gmail.com and cid.lk@gmail.com. They are believed to aim at tricking people, stealing money, or getting personal information unlawfully. The CID is looking into this matter to find out who is behind these misleading messages and to take legal action against them. The police also advise the public to be careful and not to share any personal or private information in response to emails from these addresses.
