Scammers target elderly woman in Chișinău
Two men, aged 26 and 43, from Chișinău and Călărași were arrested and remanded in custody on suspicion of perpetrating a “relative involved in a car accident” scam in Chișinău.
According to police, a 73-year-old woman received a phone call from an individual impersonating a law enforcement officer. The caller falsely claimed that her daughter had been involved in a car accident and demanded 29,000 lei to compensate the alleged victim and secure her daughter's release.
The victim sent the money via taxi, which was subsequently collected by one of the suspects.
