A woman reported to the Kaunas County Police Department on July 14 that she had been the victim of significant financial fraud spanning from July 3 to July 14. The complainant stated that she was repeatedly contacted by unknown individuals who impersonated representatives from Google, banks, and law enforcement agencies, resulting in the fraudulent extraction of 81,400 euros. Following the report, local police authorities apprehended two men, identified as suspects born in 1988 and 2001, and transported them to the station.
An initial investigation into the matter of fraud has since been launched by the police. In related updates concerning financial security, the police noted that incidents of fraud remained active in the preceding hours. Residents in the Šiauliai district were particularly affected during this recent period.
Furthermore, separate incidents reported on the same day detailed losses in Vilnius, where two residents were reportedly extorted of 16,000 euros. Another individual from Saki reported a loss of 15,000 euros, noting that the suspects had taken his physical bank card during the deception. Authorities reminded the public that the Criminal Code addresses individuals who fraudulently gain trust.
The continuous nature of these reported incidents underscores the ongoing vigilance required from the community, with the police advising caution following such schemes throughout the month of July.
