Un tânăr ucrainean, prins în flagrant când încerca să preia 180.000 de lei de la o femeie. Cum fusese păcălită victima

An 18-year-old Ukrainian was arrested in Bucharest for attempting to defraud a woman of 180,000 lei through a spoofing scheme. The woman was misled by callers posing as public institution employees, claiming her bank accounts were compromised. She was instructed to take out a loan and hand over cash to a supposed intermediary. However, she alerted the police during the call, leading to the young man's arrest as he received the cash. Investigations are ongoing to identify all involved parties, and authorities warn citizens to be cautious of unsolicited calls requesting personal information or money transfers.
