The dispute of the violation, the money to be paid, the deadline by which to do it, the Iban where to make the payment . The minutes were complete with every detail. Too bad they were fake and that the coffers of the Municipality of Naples did not correspond to that Iban. But those of a gang of crooks.

It happens in Naples: seven citizens fell for it, unsuspecting victims who had found reports on the windshield of their cars contesting the non-compliance with article 158 of the highway code and therefore parking not allowed , for example on sidewalks, in spaces reserved for parking and parking of public transport, in front of driveways, on bends.

On the false report, in addition to the dispute detected, an Iban code was indicated on which to make the payment for the payment of the fine of 29.90 euros within 5 days, after this deadline the fine amounted to 41 euros.

«The amount requested - explains Bruno Capuano, in command of the General Affairs and Internal Controls Operational Unit of the local police - highlights the cunning of these scammers because requesting a higher amount would probably have led the victims not to pay and to consider an appeal . In this way, instead, perhaps to get rid of their worries, people could pay the fine''.

The local police invites citizens to be careful while investigations and checks are underway to trace the scammers. From the Iban code indicated on the false fines, the bank of reference has been traced : the aim is to seize the current account and trace the holders . Not only. Around the streets in these hours there are also plainclothes patrols in order to be able to identify those responsible.
