Drive carefully in the Algarve: Faro is the district with the most cases of this scam in 2026 and victims are losing more than 15 thousand euros

The GNR warns of the growth of staged traffic accident scams in Portugal, with the district of Faro recording the highest number of cases in 2026, already surpassing the total for the entire previous year. Losses exceeded 72 thousand euros in the first half of the year, with a single victim losing 15,450 euros. The scheme involves following drivers as they exit parking lots, simulating a collision, and pressuring victims to pay quickly while avoiding police involvement. Criminals now use portable payment terminals to obtain bank cards and PIN codes, and specifically target drivers over 60 years old. The GNR recommends never handing over money immediately, photographing the scene and vehicles, and contacting police if suspicious.
