Dolianova: «Your card has been cloned, transfer 2 thousand euros to another». But it's a scam

The Carabinieri of the Dolianova station have reported a twenty-five-year-old originally from Ghana but resident in Reggio Emilia, unemployed and with a criminal record, for aggravated fraud.

The young man, posing as an Italian Post Office operator, called a 55-year-old from Dolianova telling her that her prepaid card had been cloned.

Therefore, to "solve" the problem, he would have had to transfer all the contents, around 2 thousand euros, to another Postepay card, obviously his.

The Carabinieri reached him through the collaboration of their Emilian colleagues. In the meantime, however , the account had, unfortunately, been completely emptied.
