Malta Police Scam Call Recording

I just received a call from what appears to be a Maltese number (+356 9852 xxxx).  This audio has been adjust to make it easier to follow.

After a robotic recorded message the caller is asked to press one.  I followed instructions and got to a live person with a strong Indian accent. 

When I explained that I was recording the message for my blog, inviting the person to speak slowly, his police business no longer seemed to be the agenda of the day and he hung up.

 A copy of the original recording together with the full number has been passed on to the authorities.

If you get a call with a similar message you may want to hang up if you're not comfortable engaging with the caller.
