A DANGEROUS scam is circling a city - the MUP is appealing: DON'T SIT!

The police in Vranje have reported an increase in incidents where unknown individuals call citizens, pretending to be healthcare or humanitarian workers, and ask for money to help family members allegedly injured in traffic accidents. These calls are part of a scam targeting vulnerable people, especially the elderly. The police are working closely with the Public Prosecutor's Office to investigate these cases and identify those responsible. Citizens are urged to be cautious and hang up if they receive such calls, then contact family members or report to the police at 192. Earlier this month, similar scams were uncovered in Kragujevac, leading to the arrest of a 44-year-old Azerbaijani man who defrauded a local woman of over 9,250 euros by falsely claiming her daughter was seriously injured.

Tri stare hrvatice, u dobi od 80, 88 i 89 godina, izgubile su ukupno 13.000 evra u sklopu šeme prevara koju su izveli tri ljudska bića – bugarska državljanka (57), neznan muškarac i neznamena žena. Po informacijama policije, ova trojka se pretvarala da su lekari i članovi porodice žrtava, kako bi privukla novac za "hitne operacije". Ovaj slučaj, koji se dešavao u Zagrebu, Susedgradi i Novom Zagrebu, pokazuje kako se takve prevarne šeme sve više šire i koriste sve sofisticiraniji metod za manipulisanje žrtvama.

Prema izvorima, žrtve su bile kontaktirane putem telefona, gde su ih nepoznati ljudi obavestili da im je član porodice teško povređen i da je potreban novac za hitnu operaciju. Jedan od saučesnika, koji je predstavljao se kao doktor, bio je ključni faktor u ovoj šemi. Nakon tog poziva, osumnjičena bugarska državljanka, koja je uhapšena u hotelu na Trešnjevci, dolazila je na adresu žrtava i preuzimala novac, verodostojno potvrđujući izmišljenu priču. Ova metoda je bila vrlo efikasna, jer je iskoristila slabost i poverenje starih ličnosti, koje su često najosjetljivije na takve priče.

Položaj ovog slučaja nije izolovan. U drugim delovima Hrvatske, slične prevarne šeme se dešavaju i uzrokuju znatne finansijske oštećenja. Na primer, u Kragujevcu, policija je uspela da uhapse Azerbejdžanca koji je oštetio sedmadesetogodišnjaku za 9.250 evra, tako što je lažno tvrdio da mu je ćerka teško povređena. Osim toga, u Osijeku, 70-godišnjak je bio žrtva prevaranta koji se lažno predstavio kao direktor kompanije i obećavao visok dobit kroz ulaganje u zlato i akcije. Takođe, u tom slučaju, žrtva je uplaćivala više od 170 hiljada evra, što pokazuje koliko su takvi incidenti opasni i moguća je ogroman šteta.

MUP i lokalne policije su aktivno uključeni u borbu protiv ovih prevara. U Vranju, policija je saopštila da su u proteklosti mesec dana primljene prijave o takvim incidentima, a u saradnji sa Osnovnim javnim tužilaštvom u tom gradu, vode se istraživanja i identifikacija osumnjičenih. Apeluje se građanima, a posebno starijima, da budu oprezni i da ne dopuste da ih neko prevariti. Ako ih netko pozove i traži novac, preporučuje se da odmah prekine razgovor i pozove člana porodice. Ukoliko se pojavi takav slučaj, građani su upozoreni da se obrate policijskoj upravi, najbližoj stanici ili da prijave na broj 192.

U svim ovim slučajevima, glavna tema je prevarantski metod koji koristi poverenje, strah i neznanje. Žrtve su često starije ličnosti, koje su manje sposobne da prepoznaju takve šeme. Uz to, prevaranti koriste savremene metode, poput telefonskih poziva i lažnih identitetova, kako bi se sakriti i unapredili svoje aktivnosti. Uz to, policija i druge institucije su uključeni u borbu protiv ovih fenomena, ali je važno da građani budu svjesni rizika i da budu oprezni kada se suočavaju sa nekim ko traži novac pod nekim opravdanjem.

BUGARKA SA SAUČESNICIMA OJADILA HRVATICE ZA 13.000 EVRA: Lažno se predstavljali kao lekari i tražili novac za hitne operacije

Three elderly women in Zagreb lost a total of 13,000 euros after falling victim to a well-organized scam where perpetrators pretended to be doctors and members of the victims' families. According to police suspicions, the suspects contacted the victims by phone, claiming a family member was seriously injured and requiring urgent funds for surgery. The accused woman, a Bulgarian national aged 57, was arrested at a hotel on Trešnjevci after allegedly visiting the victims' homes and collecting the money under the guise of verifying the fabricated story. The victims were all over 80 years old, located in Zagreb, Susedgrad, and Novi Zagreb.

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 65): Factuality is high as the article reports a confirmed police operation against a fraud scheme involving fake doctors. Objectivity is lower due to sensationalist language like 'lažno se predstavljali' and lack of balance in presenting both sides of the story.
