The PSP arrested a 31-year-old scammer responsible for a fraudulent scheme that targeted elderly people. The criminal approached his victims in public places and used an apparently harmless strategy to establish contact: he greeted the elderly with two kisses on the cheek and asked: "So you don't remember me?". This approach aimed to create a false sense of familiarity and trust with the defenseless victims.
After managing to establish this initial contact, the scammer managed to deceive the elderly and lead them to an ATM. The details about the exact functioning of the scheme inside the ATM are not specified in the article, but everything indicates that it involved manipulation of the victims to carry out transfers or fraudulent withdrawals.
The victims of this scheme were elderly people, which made the situation particularly serious given the vulnerable profile of the targets. The methodology used by the criminal exploited the kindness and possible mental confusion that some elderly people may feel when confronted with someone who claims to know them.
After being arrested by the PSP, the suspect was brought to trial, where a judge decided to place him in preventive detention. This measure aims to ensure that the defendant remains suspended from criminal activity while the investigations or legal proceedings against him are ongoing.
