(Hürriyet Newspaper, 23 March 2025)















When the call came, had M.K. just said "I don't speak
Turkish." it could all have been avoided...

In Bursa's Nilüfer district on 13 March, Ali Uluğ (22), 
identifying himself as a policeman, called an elderly
woman named M.K. (75) and told her she had been caught up
in an investigation of the FETÖ (Fethullah Gülen Terror
Organization).  Consequently, she had to give all the money
and jewelry in her house to Uluğ for "safekeeping" while
the investigation continued.  

M.K. complied and delivered 104 gold pieces and foreign
currency to Uluğ at the address he specified on the phone. 
However (!), when Uluğ took the gold and the money to a 
jeweler to get cash, the jeweler became suspicious.  Police
arrived at the shop and took Uluğ into custody. 

Police then went to the neighborhood where M.K. had
surrendered the gold and money to Uluğ and obtained
camera images reflecting the exchange.  Uluğ, who 
confessed his guilt, told police where to find M.K.,
who was then reunited with her valuables.  It was only
then that M.K. realized she had been duped by Uluğ (!).

Uluğ also admitted to bilking another person in Kuşadası
out of 1 million TL (about $26,000).
