The elderly woman had received a phone call at approximately 8:15 PM. The caller allegedly claimed to be an employee from her bank, warning her about the presence of counterfeit money and the need to immediately exchange her money and have her bank card on hand as it would be blocked. Furthermore, she was requested to have her jewelry available for inspection. A mysterious man appeared at her door around 8:35 PM and took the valuables, prompting a swift criminal complaint from the locals.
The authorities urge caution with unrecognized phone callers: genuine bank personnel will not ask you to let them into your home to assess suspicious bank notes or your jewelry and should not ask for your bank card and valuables. It is imperative to keep these items secure. If there's any doubt, cut the conversation short, seek support from friends or relatives and, if required, call the emergency number (110).
