The three women, all over 90 years of age, received phone calls on Wednesday from a perpetrator who claimed to be calling from banks.

In one of the cases, he claimed to be calling from Eskilstuna and urged one of the women to collect her gold items and bank cards and put them in an envelope for the fraudster to pick up, which later also happened.

The other two women were also asked to collect valuables and bank cards in an envelope that would later be collected.

On Wednesday evening, the police were able to announce that another elderly woman, also over 90, in Jönköping had been hit.
