90-year-old one step away from the loss of property. She outsmarted the cheaters
The 90-year-old Częstochowa received a phone call from a man claiming to be a prosecutor. He claimed that her daughter caused an accident in which one person was hospitalized in a serious condition. To avoid a prison sentence, the senior was to pay a large amount of money. Initially, she took the case seriously and followed the instructions, packed savings into a bag and threw out the window.
Change of fraudsters’ plan
The fraudster initially claimed that his assistant would come for the money, but later he changed the version, saying that a woman in a red jacket would appear. The senior, terrified of the situation, kept cold and realized that it could be a fraud. She went out into the yard, took a bag with money and returned to the apartment.
Recognition of fraud
After returning to the apartment, the senior received another phone call, this time from a woman claiming to her daughter. She recognized that she was a completely different person and informed her about it, after which the connection was interrupted. The senior informed her loved ones, who confirmed that it was an attempt to fraud.
Warning for others
Thanks to the vigilance and keeping cold blood, the senior saved her savings. The police warn that fraudsters are not idle and invent newer methods of action. They often pretend to be family members, bank employees, institutions, policemen or prosecutors, declaring their willingness to help in a difficult situation.
How to react to fraud attempts
Especially elderly and lonely people can fall victims of fraudsters. It is important to respond to any doubts and notify the services. The information can also be provided anonymously, which is often enough to prevent crime.
