Memorize the English phrase "I don't speak Turkish", so
the bad guys will go elsewhere.
A hoodwinker called Muammer Çatıkkaş Silsüpür (68) in Istanbul's
Küçükçekmece district, identified himself as a policeman and told
Muammer hanım that a gang had made a fake ID card using her name
and would sell all her property.
Her husband Kadir Silsüpür then sold a plot of land he owned in
Kastamonu worth 15 million TL (about $440,000) for just 5 million TL
and gave the money to the "police". Subsequently, the couple realized
they had been duped and filed a criminal complaint with the real police.
Cybersecurity expert Osman Demircan noted that this fraud technique
is widely used against older citizens and recommended that when such
a call comes to physically go to the police station to confirm it (or not).
