Another arrest for fraud by the Carabinieri of the Ischia Company, the fifth to be precise on the islands since the beginning of this summer for a total of 15 if we also count the people reported.
The military of the local company are on the front lines in the fight against scams and since June they have managed to recover and return 19.650 euros to the rightful owners defrauded by unscrupulous scammers.
This time we are in Procida and an 18 year old with no criminal record ends up in handcuffs. Secondigliano.
It's afternoon and the landline rings, a woman answers: in short we're talking about the scam of the fake courier and the "urgent" package to be delivered for the nephew in difficulty.
The victim agrees to the request but, out of caution, once the phone conversation is over, she calls the police. The police arrive just in time and find the 18-year-old Neapolitan who had just left the home of the victim.
In the boy's hands an envelope that the victim had just given him, inside it the sum of 1.600 euros in cash. The money is returned to the lady while the unconvicted scammer is currently in the courtrooms of Naples awaiting trial.
