Romsit, now acting AMLO chief, urged people to remain calm, not to believe cold callers, and not to wire money to anyone in these circumstance. He said the state agency would not contact people about such a matter over the phone or online media. When the victim hesitated, the gangster transferred the phone conversation to another man who claimed to be Romsit. The imposter then explained the steps in the inquiry and even sent details of a fake Line account in Romsit’s name. Those who suspect foul play should alert the authority on the AMLO hotline, 1710, during office hours.
