Phone fraud in Kozani with a prize of 225,000 euros

Or at the police investigation microscope after the victim filed a complaint. A woman who believed the perpetrators and lost her life savings… Phone fraud in Kozani was carefully set up and the perpetrators managed to become richer by 225,000 euros. Their victim was an elderly woman who believed her close relative had caused a fatal car accident. As the perpetrators told her, a young child had been killed and in order for no consequences she would have to pay. As it turns out, the crooks themselves didn’t initially believe they would leave with such a large amount of money. They asked her for less, but when they found out there was more cash in the house, they told her to give it all. Something the woman denounces happened a few minutes later. According to kozan.gr, telephone fraud involving a loot of 225,000 euros, according to a statement by the victim (an elderly woman), residing alone in Kozani, occurred on Monday night, March 25th. An unknown man, pretending to be a policeman, called her on the fixed phone of her house and told her that her relative was involved in a car accident and that his car caused the death of a child. At one point she heard a man crying on the phone and believed that he was indeed her relative. The imposter, allegedly a policeman, initially reportedly asked for a smaller amount of money between 60,000 – 70,000 euros which, as he told her, would be given to the family of the alleged dead man, from the car accident. He was then reportedly asking her to give all the money she had at home, as was done, a sum of 225,000 euros, money coming from lifetime savings. In particular, he asked her to put them in a bag and toss them out of the window at a certain time when he told her. Indeed, at the time she was told to go out the window someone appeared under her house, telling her to throw them away as it did while the alleged police officer continued to talk to her on the phone for a long time until his accomplice was removed. The next day the elderly woman who spoke with her relative, who was supposed to have been involved in the car accident, found that none of what the alleged police officer had told her on the phone had happened, realizing that she had been the victim of telephone fraud, then testifying to a lawsuit against strangers. Please note that in recent days there have been a large number of complaints from local citizens about attempts at telephone fraud in similar ways.
