This time it was a ninety-year-old pensioner from Licata who received the call from the fake marshal, who fell into the trap set by a criminal who exploited her feelings. “I am a police sergeant, your nephew had a serious car accident. To prevent him from ending up in prison, 12 thousand euros are needed.”

Money which, again according to the marshal, had to be delivered immediately to a lawyer who was already at the old woman’s house.

The pensioner gave the self-styled lawyer everything she had at home: 5 thousand euros and several gold jewels. The old woman, a little later, realized she had been scammed but it was too late. She had no choice but to go to the police, where she filed the complaint. And the military personnel, after having informed the Agrigento Prosecutor’s Office, started investigations.

Unscrupulous scammers posing as members of the police force, lawyers, bankers or postal workers. The Carabinieri and the police invite users not to provide data to strangers and not to be persuaded to give money or divert their assets to unknown bank accounts. In case of doubts or suspicions it is always better to contact 112, asking the person to wait.
