Crooks are currently rampant in the Tarn-et-Garonne.
A victim was recently cheated by two fake technicians, alert the gendarmes of the department in a Facebook post published on Tuesday.
According to the soldiers, two men pretended to be employees of a maintenance company specializing in mechanical blinds.
Their victim let them go home to check her shutters.
For this operation, the sum of 20 euros was requested;
payment to be made by credit card only.
She pays 1,500 euros without realizing it
The victim then made the payment for the first time, but the two scammers claimed that it had not worked.
The defrauded person then carried out the operation a second time.
The two criminals told her that she would receive her receipt by mail and left in a hurry.
The two operations actually went well but are far from the 20 euros initially mentioned.
The victim indeed paid 1,000 euros then 500 euros.
His daughter was finally able to object in time to her bank.
The gendarmes of Tarn-et-Garonne call the inhabitants to the greatest vigilance.
