Greece's public employment agency DYPA has issued a warning to residents and visitors about an increase in telephone scams targeting the public. Fraudsters are impersonating official agencies and attempting to extract personal or financial information over the phone. DYPA advises never to share personal details, bank account numbers, or passwords with unsolicited callers, even if they claim to represent a government body. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up and verify directly through official channels. Tourists in Crete should be aware that scammers sometimes target foreign visitors who may be less familiar with local institutions. When in doubt, contact your accommodation host or a local authority for guidance rather than engaging with unknown callers.
