A fake insurer steals 124 000 USD from an elderly couple

Paris - In February 2018, a couple of octogenarians were victims of a scammer who pretended to be an insurer. After two appointment requests , the impostor managed to get in touch with the couple.

Once in the house of the elderly, he asks to examine the jewels to be insured. Confident, the couple opens the safe. The fake insurer then takes advantage of a moment of inattention of his guests to steal jewelry worth 100 000 EUR (124 000 USD) and 5 000 EUR (6 200 USD) in cash.
