Investigated for computer fraud in at least four Italian prosecutor’s offices. He was surprised, to use a generous understatement, a sixty-one year old Montichiari who was notified of several indictments for scams he allegedly committed in Brescia, Mantua, Reggio Emilia and Potenza. And maybe more will come in the future. The scammer “unbeknownst to him”, however, assures that he had nothing to do with these episodes. Moreover, both the Mantua and Reggio Emilia prosecutors acquitted him.
The Monteclarense citizen, however, is the victim of the scam carried out by two people from Lonato. Yes, because the sixty-one year old – who was about to be evicted and needed money – obtained 200 euros as a loan from two acquaintances. «The only thing you have to do – the scammers told him – is open a postepay and we will give you the money». With a good dose of naivety, the man from Brescia went to the Montichiari post office and activated Postepay. At that point the scammers, after handing him 200 euros, came into possession of the card and, as you can easily imagine, disappeared.
The victim of the scam had no further news from both until he was informed that he had been investigated for computer fraud by various prosecutors. Yes, according to the reconstruction of the police, the two carried out dozens of scams for an amount exceeding 20 thousand euros. Money which, from time to time, was paid into the postepay registered in the name of the citizen of Montichiari. Money that ended up in the pockets of accomplices from Lonato del Garda, while the sixty-one year old was investigated in various prosecutor’s offices around Italy.
