Pesaro, scam alert: here are all the details relating to the case
Today, Tuesday 11 June 2024, it seems that the Flying Squad sent two people to the police station. It would be a man and a woman, both 23 and coming from Naples, already criminally convicted. All of this could be traced back to scams targeting elderly people.
Apparently, the two were spotted in the city center inside a rental car. When stopped by the Flying Squad, it appears that they did not give valid reasons for their presence. The girl, specifically, appears to have been arrested in December 2023 for a scam involving elderly people. At the end of all the checks, the two would have been banned from the municipality of Pesaro for a year.
Furthermore, it appears that the man’s driving license was revoked because a certain quantity of narcotic substances was found during the check. Another episode appears to involve an elderly woman. It seems that the lady received a call from a boy who pretended to be a policeman who told her that her son had hit a woman in an accident. The intent appears to have been to extort money from the woman.
Another case, however, concerns a 50-year-old woman with a disability, resident in Pesaro. It seems that the woman was contacted by operators from her bank who invited her to transfer money from her current account to a prepaid card in the bank’s name. The lady seems to have been alarmed and she immediately transferred around 2000 euros to the prepaid card.
It seems that she later called the bank and the operator confirmed that he had received the withdrawal request. But that, on the other hand, no bank operator would be responsible for this operation. Therefore, he would have confirmed to her that she had been the victim of a scam.
