A 90-year-old woman was robbed by a bogus Abbanoa employee. The blow yesterday in Cagliari in a house near the court: 70 thousand euros were taken away in cash.

From what has been learned, the fake Abbanoa operator managed to enter the pensioner's house with the excuse of having to hand over some money, probably for a bill, but he needed to have the change. The old woman made him sit down and went to get the money for the rest. In this way the thief found out where he kept the money and was able to appropriate it.

The theft was discovered shortly after.

The agents of the flying squad intervened on the spot. Now the case has passed into the hands of the furniture specialists.

The police reiterate the appeal to citizens, the elderly and people who live alone not to let technicians from electricity companies, telephone companies, or operators of unknown companies enter the house. They also advise not to keep such huge amounts at home. If you are suspicious, you should call 113 immediately.

With regard to the affair, Abbanoa also "advises customers who should notice anomalous behavior of self-styled technicians to call the competent authorities and report cases of alleged fraud to the company". The Abbanoa operators who carry out home interventions on utilities "are recognizable, they show the card and never ask to make payments on the spot". The Sole Manager specifies that “in no case should the customer deliver money to the staff”.
