Criminals in Ireland are impersonating police to steal access codes for stolen phones, targeting emergency contacts of the victims. They falsely claim to have recovered the phone and request the password to verify ownership. After obtaining it, they disable the 'Find my iPhone' feature and steal funds from the victim's bank accounts via the Revolut app. Authorities warn the public to never share personal information over the phone and to verify the identity of callers.
