According to the case data, in one instance, a man living in Klaipėda was first called by a person who introduced himself as an employee of a telecommunications company. Later, an alleged police officer contacted him, followed by a person who introduced himself as a bank employee. They convinced the man that someone was trying to withdraw money from his bank account. Misled, the man revealed his bank card PIN code and online banking login details and handed over his bank card to the alleged police officer who arrived – the accused woman from Šiauliai in this case.
A few days later, another Klaipėda family was similarly deceived. The callers convinced them that someone was trying to withdraw money from the man’s bank account. The accused again came to collect the card, but on the same day, she was detained by police officers on the highway. It is suspected that accomplices, using previously obtained online banking data, transferred 19,500 euros from the victim’s account in several transactions.
Another Klaipėda resident was convinced by a person posing as a telecommunications company employee to install software on his phone that allowed remote monitoring and control of the device. Later, persons posing as a bank security employee and a police officer convinced the man that others were trying to steal his money. Following their instructions, the victim withdrew 3,500 euros from the bank, which he was supposed to hand over to the arriving person. According to the investigation, the accused came to collect the money near his home but did not receive it. When the victim called the emergency number 112, the accomplices who had remote access to his phone allegedly noticed this and instructed the accused to leave. Later, the victim’s phone was remotely locked.
