An 80-year-old woman calls the police and tells them that she has lost valuable items.

The woman had received an SMS from a sender claiming to be a car rental company. According to the message, she had a booking that was paid and ready.

The woman called the number the message was sent from and explained that she had not booked any rental car. The person who answered claimed that it was "a gang criminal" who had booked a rental car to her address. They offered to connect her to "the police".

The fake police then said that they would come to her home, "take care of" her valuables, and take them to "a bank vault".

Two people met the woman at her entrance and she handed over her valuables to them.

The police have initiated an investigation to find the people who deceived the woman.
