A would-be scammer in Larnaca showed shocking nerve when he tried to con an elderly woman out of her money, claiming he was helping her son.
A video that’s been making the rounds online shows the man trying to convince the woman he had important papers to deliver to her son. Speaking with a Greek accent, the man pretends to be talking to the son on the phone and urges the woman to hand over money for the supposed delivery.
But the elderly woman kept her cool and told him straight: she didn’t have any money with her.
Police have confirmed they’re aware of the incident, and a formal complaint has been filed.
Authorities are reminding the public—especially older citizens—to be cautious and never hand over cash to strangers claiming to be messengers or family friends. If something feels off, report it immediately.
