PolandA senior citizen in Poland fell victim to a scam where she was tricked into believing a family member had been infected with the Ebola virus. The fraudster, posing as a doctor, convinced her that a special vaccine costing 250,000 złoty was needed to save the person. During the call, another woman joined the conversation and instructed the elderly woman not to hang up, allowing the scammers to monitor her actions. She eventually transferred 100,000 złoty before realizing she had been deceived. Police have reminded the public not to send money to unknown individuals, even if they claim to represent medical professionals or other institutions, and to verify such claims independently.
