00:00This week we also face an outrageous fact from every point of view.
00:05Because they mess with the elderly.
00:07Yes, of course.
00:08They mess with the elderly, with the most vulnerable,
00:11with those who have barely to survive,
00:14as in the case of the neighbors of Villegas, and with the elderly.
00:18A 79-year-old woman receives a phone call.
00:22She answers a familiar voice on the other side.
00:26I'm your niece. I'm in the bank. I have a problem.
00:31I'm out of cash.
00:32I need to deposit everything you have.
00:35Please, give it to a man who will go in my name.
00:40I can't move from the bank. If not, they'll liquidate everything.
00:43That man's name is so-and-so.
00:46He'll be waiting for you. Give him everything.
00:48The lady gave him thousands of dollars,
00:53700,000 pesos,
00:56several watches, also valued at hundreds of dollars,
01:01given to a gang of scammers
01:05who made her uncle's story.
01:07Everything was recorded.
01:10We have the video.
01:11Notice how, in some way, the police
01:16could unravel the knot of this drama
01:20for this family, for this woman.
01:22A 79-year-old woman was robbed of all her savings.
01:27All of them.
01:29Shall I tell you?
01:29Go ahead.
01:31500,000 dollars in cash.
01:373,000 euros.
01:38700,000 pesos.
01:41I'm not an expert in watches.
01:45A Rolex for a man.
01:48Omega for a man.
01:49Omega for a lady.
01:50A Bulova.
01:52A gold watch for a man.
01:54We're talking about thousands...
01:55Thousands and thousands of dollars.
01:57Thousands of dollars.
01:58But an investigation was carried out, and the audio is here.
02:01Let's listen to it, please.
02:06Hello.
02:07Hello.
02:08What did he say?
02:10That he has two cars, he told me.
02:14I told him to get on the road.
02:17He wants to do whatever he wants.
02:19He wants to do it in a way.
02:20Well, let me talk to Leo,
02:23because we have people, you know,
02:24who are going to pick us up and drive us.
02:26If we do it, we'll be able to make the last trip
02:28and, well, for us, we'll be happy.
02:33And when do you want to leave?
02:35I'll tell you, this week.
02:38If you want to sign me up, this week, I can't.
02:42And when, the other week?
02:44For Friday, the other week, I'm full.
02:47I'm available to do anything.
02:50This investigation,
02:52these hearings that we are sharing,
02:56were carried out during, or were achieved,
03:00rather,
03:01during six months after the scam.
03:07Because the scam took place in June of this year.
03:10But they were only able to put in prison in Cana,
03:14who would be the leader of the scammers,
03:17five months later.
03:19From these videos that we are sharing,
03:23from the hearings,
03:25which, in some way, were fundamental
03:28to recognize the voices,
03:30and have, precisely, the ability
03:33to reach the authors of the fact.
03:36The stories of the uncle and the old men.
03:39Leo, once again, and so many stories, too, right?
03:43How do we stop this?
03:44How many times do we have to inform
03:46that they don't listen to anyone?
03:52I hear you, I hear you.
03:55Yes, Gavino, I was telling you.
03:56Respond to the archetype of the uncle's story.
03:59The phone call, the nephew,
04:03that voice that is made by the nephew,
04:06which, in some way, has a purpose
04:08to get information out of you, and make you believe
04:10that they had it, and in reality, they got it out of you,
04:13and you focus on that idea
04:16of convincing yourself that it's really a relative.
04:20And, finally, how they take you,
04:24I mean, the history of the country,
04:26of the economic issue,
04:28and Gonza, surely, will contribute from that place, too,
04:32leads us to believe that, at any moment,
04:34this can happen,
04:35that money can lose value,
04:37that something can happen,
04:39and those fears lead to this situation, too,
04:42that, through deception, you give,
04:45but, in this case, a great amount of money,
04:49that, obviously, these criminals...
04:51But the grandmother does everything for the family, Leo.
04:54The grandmother does everything for the family.
04:56Of course, but the grandmother,
04:58the people who were educated in a country
05:01where the word was fundamental,
05:04it was fundamental.
05:08The lady receives the call from the niece, and says,
05:11I, for you, my life, I give everything.
05:13And, in fact, she did.
05:14After 2001, Gaby, after 2001,
05:17the word, and the word of the banks,
05:20and the word of everyone, ended.
05:22Yes, and besides,
05:24let's see, after what was the pandemic,
05:27where this kind of scams started to flourish.
05:30Of course.
05:30I mean, the reality is that,
05:32there is also a question, it is very difficult
05:34to make a massive awareness campaign.
