Perugia: Online scams, 6 people reported for unfair overall profit of over 34 thousand euros
The Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Perugia, in addition to the activities of control of the territory, conducted in a preventive manner by the dependent departments together with the other numerous institute activities, are addressing ever greater attention to those who frequently surf the net, for the most diverse needs, thus being exposed to possible contacts with malicious people, of whom they could become victims of cyber crimes.
In this perspective, for the cases described below, the military personnel of the local territorial Station Commands have identified and reported at large to the Public Prosecutor's Offices of Perugia and Spoleto 6 people, all resident in other regions, held responsible for fraud, committed via the web, to the detriment of unsuspecting citizens who live in the below-mentioned locations in the Perugia area.
Bastia Umbra
A 47 year old, presenting itself as an operator of a well-known digital payments and money transfer company, he used trickery and deception to induce the complainant, a 66-year-old local woman, to make an instant bank transfer for the amount of 1400 euros on a current account attributable to him.
Assisi
A 21 year old and a 20 year old, after creating a DIY company website, they offered the complainant, a 54-year-old local woman, the purchase of an above-ground swimming pool for the price of 420 euros, having the sum credited to their current account via instant bank transfer, and then making themselves untraceable.
Santa Maria degli Angeli
A 33-year-old, pretending to be the son of the victim, an 81-year-old local man, used an excuse to induce the latter to make an instant bank transfer for the amount of 2500 euros on a current account attributable to him.
Cannara
A 37-year-old man contacted the complainant, a 69-year-old resident, by telephone and, pretending to be a member of the police force, of the "Anti-Fraud Unit", induced him to make a bank transfer of 28.500 euros on a current account attributable to him in order to protect his assets from an alleged ongoing fraud, and then make himself untraceable.
Panicale
A 56-year-old man contacted the victim, a 49-year-old local woman, on your telephone number, by sending an SMS containing a link associated with a website apparently identical to that of your bank, inducing her, during a subsequent telephone conversation, to make two bank transfers to a current account in his name for a total amount of 1685 euros.
The episodes described constitute a useful opportunity to inform citizens about the dangers of the web and invite them once again to immediately contact the Carabinieri Stations distributed throughout the 59 municipalities of the province or send reports to the Single Emergency Number 112, so as to allow for timely and effective investigations into such underhanded conduct, useful for tracing those responsible for such crimes.
