Thirteen people are under investigation for the fraudulent registration of post-paid SIM cards following a two-day islandwide raid targeting mobile phone shops, said the police on Saturday.

According to the police, they had purportedly pre-registered post-paid SIM cards using particulars of their unsuspecting customers or foreigners, and sold them to customers who wanted to conceal their identities. “Scam syndicates were also found to have used such post-paid SIM cards to contact victims and to communicate among themselves to evade possible detection.”
