Pesaro, elderly woman defrauded: they have every material good delivered by the woman
Nowadays, like a pre-set script, scams always happen in the same ways. In particular, attempts are made to target the elderly by leveraging the family, and the same happened to a woman from Pantano. Here’s what happened last Monday:
The setting for this petty scam would be Pantano (Pesaro), the place where the woman lives. The protagonist and victim of this story is said to be an elderly woman of around 85 years old, who was deceived. The woman appears to have been contacted via landline, on her home phone. The scammers would have exploited her maternal instincts. During the call the scammers allegedly said: “Ma’am, your son was involved in a car accident. The girl who was with him had to have her leg amputated. We immediately need 80 thousand euros to get him out on bail and to compensate the girl.”
According to what was found, the lady was shocked by the situation and replied that she didn’t have all that cash at home. At that point, on the other end of the phone, the scammer would have replied that even just 4,000 euros would be enough. The elderly woman apparently replied that she didn’t have those available either. In response to this, the criminals apparently said: “Ma’am, we come to you: you definitely have gold in your house. Get it ready on the table, we’ll be there soon.”
According to initial reconstructions of the case, the woman immediately did what she was told. While she was preparing the highly valuable items, the scammers also managed to recover the woman’s mobile number. By doing so, they would be able to block all of her contacts so that no one could contact her. A few minutes later, one of the scammers showed up at the woman’s door. He, looking unsuspecting, seems to have had the following objects delivered: men’s gold Rolex, gold women’s watches, wedding ring, diamond rings and all the family jewels. Once the woman realized that she was a scam, she apparently immediately filed a police report the next day. With the hope of being able to arrest the criminals and recover their assets.
