Elderly women in Santa Croce and Scicli tricked by fake lawyer after son’s accident.
The carabinieri of the provincial command of Ragusa are investigating a scammer who yesterday deceived an 85-year-old woman in Santa Croce Camerina and a 75-year-old in Scicli, getting cash and gold jewelry from them. The man, currently being identified, reportedly used the same modus operandi in both scams: he pretended to be a lawyer by contacting the victim by phone and claiming that there was a car accident caused by the elderly woman’s son, for which she had to pay for insurance coverage. After gaining the victim’s trust and knowing that she had cash or valuables to cover the supposed expenses, the man then showed up at the victim’s house to collect what was promised.
