He was convinced that, through the intervention of the interlocutor contacted via the internet, he would obtain the sums he was owed. And instead he was scammed.

The victim of the scam was a 74-year-old from Castiadas. Deceived by the arguments put forward by a 58-year-old from Syracuse resident in Vittorio Veneto (Treviso), he was sure he was interfacing with a debt collection company with the aim of being able to get back a very high sum which in a previous episode of fraud had been stolen from him by impostors never identified.

For this reason, the 74-year-old had made three transfers to the 58-year-old for a total of 4,650 euros. After the complaint, the police investigated and reported the perpetrator of the scam.
