She had a history of similar acts and the travel agency where she was employed terminated her services after suspicions that she was hiding money from clients and the company itself, but while she was working, she had time to meet a couple who were defrauded of 6,400 euros.
It concerns a 37-year-old woman who was arrested Grenade and brought to justice. The operation was developed by National Policewho understands that this is clearly a case of scam. The couple, victims of their chatter, only managed to recover 1,500 euros. What remains, for now, is in limbo.
The alleged perpetrator worked until last September as a sort of free agent. During this period, the victims contacted her, without suspecting anything of course, and booked a trip for her to the Far East, notably to Japan.
The couple did a first payment, 2,700 euros. They maintained telephone contact with the agent and then paid more to book flights, hotels and other services, up to 6,400 euros. Payments were made via a phone app but the money did not go into the agency’s account but into that of the person still employed.
The victims suspected nothing throughout this time because everything seemed normal. They received their flight locators, with their names printed on them. And when the day came, they went to Madrid-Barajas airport, ready to enjoy their getaway.
But flight locators Madrid-Japanwith ladder Abu Dhabididn’t match what they had. They had to spend the night in Madrid and return to Granada the next day by train. Obviously, all these expenses came out of their pockets.
When they returned to Granada, they contacted the agent, but she only returned 1,500 euros. When the rest did not arrive, the couple filed a complaint. Police investigations led to the arrest of the alleged fraudster and his brought to justice.
