Scammers manipulate every situation, showing no regard for moral boundaries. Recently, they have started targeting families of military personnel, trying to instill fear or false trust to steal money.

The Charity Fund "Direct Inclusion" offers advice on how to handle these situations effectively.

First, approach any anonymous individuals who claim they can "solve" issues related to POWs with skepticism. If you want reliable information about your relative, contact the Office for Missing Persons under Special Circumstances by calling their hotline at 1698.

It's also important to maintain good cyber hygiene. Avoid sharing sensitive information about missing loved ones on social media.

If scammers demand money for alleged debts supposedly owed by a missing or deceased military relative, report this to the police by calling 102.
