Police Headquarters has warned the public about fraudsters using the names and photographs of senior and responsible officials from police and other government offices. In a press release issued Tuesday, July 28, 2026, AIG for Media and PR A H M Shahadat Hossain said complaints had been received about scam groups sending social-media messages seeking money and requesting various forms of intervention.
The release said the groups are both taking money through such activities and damaging the reputation of government institutions and responsible officials. Police stressed that a social-media account displaying a government official’s photograph does not confirm that the associated mobile number belongs to that person. The public was urged not to respond to such messages.
Recipients of suspected scam messages may contact the national emergency service at 999, as well as the Cyber Police Center, CID, and the Detective Branch at DMP headquarters. Police said they remain highly alert to the activities of scam groups and are committed to taking appropriate legal action against anyone involved in such fraud.
