The truth is that unfortunately today people have no scruples with anyone and the news of scams and robberies of the elderly are a constant. In this case it is a 90-year-old man who has been deceived by a thief who, using iTunes, cheated him a $ 50.000.
The story was discovered thanks to the complaint made by the grandson of this scammed person and it is that he realized that the character who was stealing from his grandfather was posing as him. A real shame that people take advantage of an older person to steal money in this way.
The victim of this scam is quite old and therefore did not realize what was really happening. It appears that he received a call from an individual who posed as his grandson (who ultimately reported the case) asking his grandfather for money to fix a problem I was having.
The scammer told the old man that they had suffered a serious traffic accident durante unas vacaciones en Florida and that I needed the money to pay the costs of what happened. As the days went by and seeing that this person agreed to give the money for the lawyers, hospitals and other lies, he continued asking for money until he reached close to $ 50.000. The way to deceive the grandfather was basically by impersonation, taking advantage of gift card purchases on iTunes. Además llegó a conseguir el número de cuenta del anciano.
The grandson, who I imagine from the news, would not visit his grandfather much, realized this and notified the authorities that are continuing the investigation to arrest this scammer. It will be difficult to return the money stolen but they hope that with the dissemination of the news more people will not fall into this type of deception. Never give your personal iTunes keys to anyone and much less by mail or by phone.
