An old woman from Vaslui was tricked by swindlers, who promised her that she would get rich overnight.

The old woman told Digi 24 that she went on YouTube, where she listens to prayers. At one point, he came across a video that used the image of Ion Țiriac. “I went to YouTube, where I still listen to prayers, and I came across this video with Țiriac and not only Țiriac. He was also the president of the country, it was Mugur Isărescu, Becali.

After 5 minutes a guy called me. He saw my phone number probably clicking… «Hello! I saw that you are interested in our business». “So what business?” “Would you be willing to invest a sum of money?” “What a sum of money that I am not rich enough to invest. What money do you need?” “Well, you have to invest 1,100 lei”. “What are the benefits?” “For 1100 euros you have the opportunity to win 6 thousand lei”.

In a few days, all the agony collected after 20 years of working abroad ended up in the hands of thieves, more precisely the sum of 52 thousand lei.

Cosmin Andreica, the police union, says that such situations are very difficult to document because the perpetrators ensure that the circuit through which they succeed in deceiving the victims is lost. “We are talking here about different legends according to which people who invest in different funds will receive the money even 3-4-5 times in a very short time. Many scams collect personal data that is sold and used for various purposes, including to clone cards.

There are minimal chances to recover the sums of money, especially given that in most situations we are talking about perpetrators from outside Romania who lose track of them and also lose track of the sums of money that are withdrawn immediately, used to purchase some goods. Recently, hackers have used the image of famous people to support their operations. Among them, BNR Governor Mugur Isărescu and ministers Sebastian Burduja and Sorin Grindeanu”, he declared to Digi 24.
