When the 93-year-old woman sat watching the World Cup -stafetten beat the fraudster to.
The fake home service conned their way into her home and stole a jewelry box.
– It has gone far over the limit when lurk older people like this says Bjarne Andersson, duty officer at the police in Värmland.
A few days ago, police in Värmland out and warned for the arrogant fraudsters.
– We know that we need to flag the public, said Stefan Wickberg, spokesman for police in Värmland.
The fraudsters begins by calling up their victims to announce that they have no reason to come home to them. On two occasions in late February hit two women in their 90s.
A woman called them up and told me she had packet addressed to them that she wanted to surrender. But when she was admitted in the women have gold and cash stolen.
– There are elderly people who suffer who might see and hear bad. Then they cheated says Bjarne Andersson, duty officer at the police in Värmland.
– They are no more gullible than others because they are old, but they may be gullible and think well of all.
Now a 93-year-old woman resident in Kristinehamn suffered a similar scam.
It was on Friday that a woman rang the 93-year-old and told me that she came from social services and had a letter to hand over.
The 93-year-old who sat and watched the World Championship relay first did not want to let the woman – but was persuaded.
When the elderly lady would go to bed later at night she discovered that a jewelry box was missing.
– It is important that we inform you of this. It is also good for families helps to remind residents about not letting people into their homes, says Bjarne Andersson.
