An elderly woman in Limassol says she was scammed by two women who took her cash on the pretext they would check the bills for authenticity and bring them back.

According to police, an 81-year-old woman was visited by two women who presented themselves at the door as members of an institution that investigates money fraud and fake bills.

The two females, described as one blonde and one brunette, managed to convince the elderly woman to hand over cash after promising they would run the bills through a system check and bring them back.

But they never returned the money according to the complaint.
