24 Euro Scam to Tuscan Entrepreneur: 3 Neapolitans Arrested

A Tuscan entrepreneur fell victim to a sophisticated scam that cost him €24. The Carabinieri in Naples have arrested three people, believed to be responsible for the deception. The story began with an alarming phone call the entrepreneur received.

A so-called operator of the anti-fraud office of his bank warned him of suspicious movements in the account. To protect his savings, the man was invited to transfer a large sum of money to a dedicated account.

To reinforce the alarm, also a call from the Carabinieri, who confirmed the report of a possible fraud in progress. Unaware of being the victim of a well-planned scam, the entrepreneur made the transfer.

Meanwhile, in Naples, three people were anxiously awaiting the money to be credited to a specially created bank account. Under constant surveillance by the Carabinieri , the three were seen withdrawing part of the sum at a post office.

Thanks to a careful investigation, the military managed to reconstruct the entire story and arrest those responsible. It emerged that part of the money had been diverted to a Maltese bank account.

The three arrested are now under house arrest on charges of computer fraud, money laundering , and unauthorized access to computer systems. The Tuscan businessman, however, has filed a complaint and is working to recover the stolen money.
