Swindlers posing as insurance agents, accountants and employees of Greece’s power distribution network operator (DEDDIE) allegedly stole cash, gold coins and jewelry worth more than 150,000 euros from unsuspecting victims in eastern Thessaloniki, police said Friday.
Investigators said they solved three fraud cases committed in February and March this year.
Two men, aged 23 and 56, and a 33-year-old woman were identified as suspects. Criminal charges have been filed against them.
According to police, the suspects used various pretexts and falsely claimed to work in the above professions in order to gain the victims’ trust.
