Fraudsters lure an older man into parting with a large sum of money.

A man in his 80s received an SMS about an alleged debt and payment demand from a collection agency. The message contained a number that led to a fake customer service. When the man called the customer service, he was tricked into being transferred to his bank's fraud department.

Later, when the man discovered that a large sum of money was missing from his account, he realized he had been deceived and called the police.
