Macerata: scam in the shopping center car park, intervention by the local police.

Last Thursday, late in the morning, a local police patrol that was carrying out a check in Piediripa was approached by a man living in the Fermo area who, agitated, told the officers that he had been scammed in the car park of the nearby shopping centre.
The man had managed to write down the license plate of the car in which the alleged fraudster had left and the same was distributed to all the staff on duty who, in a few minutes, thanks to the video surveillance system of the cars entering and leaving leaving the city, she spotted the car in via Carducci.

The defrauded person said that the man had approached him, greeting him affectionately and saying that he knew him well as they were old work colleagues. From there, the alleged fraudster, after several minutes of conversation, gave the victim, initially as a gift, an envelope with some imitation leather jackets and then continuously asked for money until the victim handed over the sum of 250 euros and invited him to bring to the nearest ATM to withdraw additional money.
The alleged scammer was stopped by the local police shortly after the first report in via Carducci where he was trying to hook up a new victim, an event averted by the intervention of the patrol.

Following the inspection of the vehicle, a load of imitation leather jackets with anonymous labeling and without an invoice certifying their origin was found. The goods were seized for illegal trading in public areas.
The man was referred to the judicial authority for fraud and fined with an administrative fine of 5 thousand euros as required by regional law 22/2021. The local police invites anyone who has been approached by a person matching the description, on Thursday 20 July, to present themselves at the Office of the Commerce Unit of the Local Police of Macerata.
“Even on this occasion the local police demonstrated that they are always close to the citizen as the Administration wants. I applaud the agents for having done an excellent and punctual job" commented the councilor for local security and police Paolo Renna.
“Congratulations go to all the staff who, with a concerted action of the various sectors of the entire command: Emergency Response, Operations Centre, Commerce and Judicial Police, made it possible to stamp out this systematic scam which had already damaged the lured citizens” added the local police commander Danilo Doria.
