The irruption of the Coronavirus pandemic forced a woman to take her business, her small family venture, to social networks to try to survive.She, 71, was not used to the digital world and he, a scammer with experience in theft and lies, took advantage of it.

She discovered that her husband had formed another parallel family when she turned 10 years old

The trap was fruitful.The 71 -year -old woman trusted the promise of men, that is why she did not hesitate too much when another subject appeared on the scene.

This new member of History told him that the suitcase sent from the United States to his name was retained in customs and that in order to receive it, he would need to meet some requirements.

Things began to complicate.From that moment on, he demanded money for the procedures to advance.He asked him to transfer money to a bank account to "unlock" the sending of the suitcase that allegedly carried the US tickets.

She was convinced that the man would not fail her, she did not doubt that the shipment would be fulfilled.So that he complied with payments repeatedly.Made all financial transfers, with figures that went from 165.000 pesos up to 480.000.But the subject never advanced.

When he reacted it was late

In total there were six transfers (two in August and four in September) until reaching a total sum of a million and a half pesos (more than 13.000 euros).With the passage of time he understood that the suitcase never existed and that the man who fell in love with social networks was simply a thief who had emptied the account.

Humiliated and furious, the scammed did the only thing he could do before the scam suffered: he brought the issue to justice and made a criminal complaint.The representative of the year -awaits of the Public Prosecutor's Office, Dra.Florencia Garzón, ordered that the experts of the Department of Economic Crimes take over the investigation.
