Unlikely dua cross paths. Absent-minded professor
and internet singing sensation (not her day job).

A gang that includes Seda Sular, known on social media as
'Seda Tripkolik', bilked famous literature professor Cevat Çapan.
On 13 May gang members phoned Çapan identifying themselves
as police officers.  Çapan was told that the money in his bank
accounts was being used by terrorists so the 'police' instructed
Çapan to withdraw the money and give it to them for examination.

Çapan then withdrew the money (!) and gave $50,000 and
80,000 TL (about $20,000) to a courier, who delivered the
money to Seda Sular.  After getting the money, Sular sent it to
the account of gang leader M.T. in Şanlıurfa.  However, police
got wind of the activity, contacted the bank and blocked the
transfer.
