„Falsul accident”, noua capcană pentru șoferii din București. Victimele, păcălite să plătească 10.000 de lei • Newsweek România

A new scam targeting drivers in Bucharest involves false accident claims, where victims are pressured to pay large sums for alleged damages. The scheme typically starts with a driver being informed they hit a pedestrian, leading them to a supposed accident scene where another individual claims to have been harmed. Police have identified four suspects linked to multiple incidents, with amounts demanded reaching up to 10,000 lei. Authorities advise drivers to avoid making immediate payments and to report such incidents to the police instead. Precautionary measures include gathering information about the accusers and their vehicles.
