Police urges public to be vigilant against scams

Samoan police have issued a warning against what they call 'con artists' following a surge in scam cases.

Speaking on Talofa FM, Police Superintendent Tuaena Lomano Paulo urged the public to be vigilant against scams.

Tuaena noted the recent case of two men who pleaded guilty to falsely recruiting for seasonal workers overseas.

He said others claim they can import vehicles, leaving clients waiting months before they realise they have been misled.
