He called his frightened relatives and claimed that their loved ones were in the hospital, and ended up taking thousands

A 58-year-old citizen of North Macedonia has been accused of defrauding six people by impersonating a doctor over the phone. The man called random individuals, falsely claiming their family members were seriously injured in traffic accidents, and then asked for money to cover fictitious medical expenses. He reportedly collected a total of 41,400 euros from his victims. The fraud took place during the summer months, with assistance from unknown accomplices. The case was reported by the local prosecutor’s office in Zagreb, which has now forwarded the investigation to the municipal criminal court. Authorities are seeking to extend the suspect’s detention due to concerns about potential flight risks and the possibility of further crimes.
