Lucca: Carabinieri foil a scam involving a married couple for 12.000 euros

This is the unpleasant adventure that two spouses from Bagni di Lucca found themselves in when contacted by telephone scammers, in the circumstance posing as police officials, who, under the fraudulent pretext of unmasking an unfaithful bank manager, had induced them to present themselves at a local bank to make a decoy transfer of almost 12.000 euros.

The couple, initially frightened by the content of the call, had actually gone to the bank to make the transfer, only to later have doubts and call the operations center of the Carabinieri Company Command of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana who immediately, fearing the fraud in progress, activated the Carabinieri of Bagni di Lucca who are intervened immediately, taking charge of the couple and immediately proceeding with all police operations, including that to immediately revoke the banking order and thus save the couple, preventing them from falling into the trap of such significant economic damage.

The facts follow those of the last few days, with the complaint of the alleged perpetrator of a scam against an 84-year-old woman, unmasked by the military and the reports of attempts received by the switchboard of the Castelnuovo Company, which were followed by the setting up roadblocks and checkpoints throughout the territory, with the presence of personnel on all access roads to the territories of Garfagnana and Media Valle which have evidently discouraged the scammers.
