Police Investigate Fraud Case Targeting 61-Year-Old Woman

Police are investigating a new fraud case targeting a 61-year-old woman, who was deceived via telephone by an unknown person pretending to be a bank employee. The perpetrator obtained the woman's personal and banking details and persuaded her to make five money transfers, totaling €425, to an account he indicated. The woman realized the fraud when she discovered an additional charge of €0.98 on her account. Police are urging the public to be cautious of similar scams and reminding them that banks never request personal information over the phone.
