Cheated and robbed of his money. A 40-year-old from Montesilvano, owner of a commercial activity, was contacted by telephone by a self-styled bank agent who, after having informed him of the merger between the company “Money” and Banca 5, invited him to carry out the account migration of your company in order to continue to make regular payments to customers’ utilities.

Following the instructions of the telephone operator, the victim entered his password, the Otp code and an additional code that came to him via text message, only to discover that he had suffered a fraud. After about an hour, and not being contacted again, the man realized that several instant transfers for a substantial sum of money had been made from his current account. So there is nothing left for him to do but report the fact to the carabinieri.
