Two separate incidents of alleged financial fraud have prompted investigations by local police authorities. On July 6th, reports were received concerning two distinct instances where individuals were reportedly defrauded by scammers impersonating officials. The first case was reported to the Vilnius County Police Department by a woman, born in 1937.
She stated that on the same day, around 8:46 pm, while at her residence in Vilnius, she was contacted by uninvited callers. These individuals claimed to represent telecommunications, banking, and police services. According to the report, the callers used deception to trick the woman into transferring a total of 13,000 euros.
Later that day, another incident was reported to the Marijampolė County Police Department. A man, born in 1955, contacted the department at 7:46 pm to report an event that occurred earlier, around 5:46 pm, in Marijampolė. He alleged that he was contacted by people posing as bank employees and police officers.
Through these deceptive tactics, the man reportedly lost 11,000 euros. In both instances, the respective police departments have confirmed that preliminary investigations into fraud have been initiated. Authorities are currently reviewing the details provided by both complainants as they work to understand the scope of the alleged scams.
The police department advises the public to remain vigilant against unsolicited calls and to verify the identity of any official contacting them.
