A 74-year-old woman from Cugir was deceived into transferring nearly 75,000 lei under the false pretense of quick profits from stock investments. The police reported that the scam occurred between September 7-8, 2026, when unknown individuals convinced her to make multiple bank transfers to a specified account. Investigations are ongoing to identify the perpetrators and recover the lost funds. This incident follows another case where a man was arrested for defrauding a 68-year-old woman out of over 250,000 lei using similar tactics, including fake documents created with artificial intelligence.
