What's the deal with these PDRM entrapment scams? They usually start with a phone call.

Here's the kicker: The real police won't call you out of the blue and demand your personal information. If you receive a call like this, hang up! You're probably dealing with a scammer. Remember, the real PDRM will never ask for your passwords, bank details, or other sensitive information over the phone.
What should you do if you think you've been a victim of a PDRM entrapment scam?
