He narrowly escaped being defrauded of 100,000 TL.

Fatma Gökmen, a mother of two working as a cleaning staff at a school in Aksaray, clicked on a 'low credit' system set up by a fraud gang on social media yesterday and applied for a loan of 40,000 TL.

After her application, Gökmen was deceived by a person who introduced himself as a banker over the phone, increasing her credit limit to 100,000 TL and reapplying under his guidance. Gökmen also confirmed the 'approval code' sent to her phone and saw that the 100,000 TL deposited into her account was suddenly transferred to another account.

REALIZED SHE WAS SCAMMED AND RUSHED TO THE POLICE

When Gökmen could not reach the number they called her from, she realized she had been scammed and reported the situation to the police. Gökmen went to the bank branch accompanied by the Fraud Bureau teams of the Public Security Branch. It was determined that the transfer of the 100,000 TL Gökmen withdrew had not yet been made to another account, and it was blocked.

"MY MONEY DISAPPEARED FROM MY ACCOUNT"

Describing her experience, Fatma Gökmen said, "They called me saying they would give me an interest-free loan from the bank. I had previously clicked on a page for a loan on social media. They worked hard to convince me. At first, I was not convinced. Later, they gained my trust. Then they told me to take a loan from another bank and directed me to other banks. The bank sent me an approval code once. I confirmed it. My money disappeared from my account, and the phone hung up. When I couldn't reach them, I immediately called the police. After the police intervened at the bank branch, they saved my 100,000 TL. I got my money back from the bank. May God bless our police," she said.

Following Gökmen's complaint, the police launched an operation to catch the fraudsters.
