A retired individual named M.Y. living in the Güzelyalı neighborhood of the Çukurova district in Adana received a phone call from a person who introduced himself as 'Commissioner Selim' and said, "Your and your spouse's identities have fallen into the hands of FETÖ suspects. You need to assist us in capturing the suspects. The money in your bank accounts will be transferred to the state treasury and returned to you after the operation."
MILLION-LIRA SCAM
Upon this, the suspects who obtained M.Y. and his spouse's mobile banking and e-Government passwords transferred 2 million 440 thousand liras to their own accounts. After a while, M.Y. called the number that had contacted him but could not reach it. Realizing he had been scammed, M.Y. went to the police and filed a complaint.
