After the one with telepéage, the “Irish” or even the pump, here is a new scam, with false collision this time.
Not new but increasingly practiced, this scam generally features two pairs.
In identification, one of them often targets the elderly, which he then begins to continue, putting pressure with headlight calls. Once his prey is stopped, the victim is accused of having without realizing it and degraded the vehicle of the crooks.
False insurer
The rest of the scenario is particularly well worked, the crook pretends to call his insurance and his accomplice comes into play, in the role of the false insurer.
The duo then insisted so far as to push his victim to settle the cost of the rehearsal, voluntarily amplified, in cash. Some even go as far as accompanying them to the distributor to withdraw money.
A subterfuge not always detectable when you are vulnerable.
In this situation, immediately contact the police or gendarmerie services by making up the 17th.
