Sometimes it's best to forget your Turkish.
Retired biology professor Şeniz K. (83), who lives in Etiler, Istanbul,
received a call from two people at around three-thirty in the afternoon
on 28 February. The two callers claimed to be a prosecutor and a
policeman, respectively, and said they were conducting a very secret
investigation into a plot by the Fethullah Gülen Terror Organization
(FETÖ), which had opened a number of telephone lines in the name
of the professor and were using the lines for FETÖ's purposes.
As a result of all of this, Prof. Şeniz K.'s name had been added to the list
of suspects for interrogation. So, by frightening her the callers convinced
her to send all her money, amounting to 1.5 million TL, to the account
number they gave her, which she did.
Subsequently, in her statement to a genuine prosecutor Prof. Şeniz K.
stated that "the policeman said his name was Ahmet Kaya, from the
Levent Police Station. He mentioned some of my acquaintances and
so I believed him. They said I had to help them or suffer the consequences.
As a few conversations, they wanted me to send them my money."
Police arrested gang leader Ferit Yeşilçeçen, along with Anıl Tosun,
Cihan Aşkan, Mehmet Oğuz Türkkan, Mehmet Emin Egen, Veli Kanlıbaş
and Doğukan Güman. The gang had hoodwinked seven other victims
and reaped 2.75 million in the process.
