The young man received a text message on his smartphone in which the bank was asked to verify an alleged fraud in progress. But it was not the bank where the unfortunate man has his account that acted, but a gang of scammers who, on the trust placed by the 30-year-old in the message, were ready to steal the large sum from the account. When the young man realized what was happening, it was already too late, but he still turned to the competent authorities, with the Guardia di Finanza of Sala Consilina starting an investigation to identify those responsible for this scam.

But at the same time, even if with different methods, also Cock was ready to be served a scam. A gang of bad guys tried to scam a lady with the deception of fake car accident. With the complicity of a supposed Carabinieri marshal, a self-styled lawyer and other accomplices on board a car, the criminals attempted to extort money from the mother of the alleged victim of the accident.

The alarm was issued by the Municipality of Corleto Monforte, led by the mayor Philip Ferraro. According to an initial reconstruction of the facts, some people were wandering around the area, using excuses to try to deceive the local elders to extort money from them. The residents, alerted by the Town Hall, refused to open the doors of their homes to these people, so much so that no cases of fraud have been reported. Naturally, attention remains high because scams are now always around the corner, especially in municipalities such as those in Valdivieso and Cilento, where a progressive, but not too slow, depopulation is being experienced.
