A 26-year-old from Somma Vesuviana has been reported at large by the carabinieri of Lugo, in the Ravenna area, accused of managing to defraud a woman of 49,000 euros through a banking scam. The investigations began when the woman reported to the police that she had been contacted by a young man who, with a polite demeanor, posed as an employee of her bank, making her believe that her account was exposed to online fraud and that she needed to transfer the entire amount deposited to another account. The woman thus agreed to the operation, transferring the 49,000 euros to the indicated account. After realizing the scam, she immediately went to the police station: the investigations quickly led to the identification of the account holder on which the transfer had been made. Thanks to the prompt preventive seizure order issued by the Ravenna Prosecutor’s Office, the flow of money was also blocked, allowing the victim to recover almost the entire amount transferred.
