A citizen from Elbasan has fallen prey to a fraud for a significant amount of money. It is about the citizen Shpëtim Qosja, who has been living in Sweden for 5 years, and has asked for the help of the show Stop on TV Klan.

One day he receives a message on Facebook, claiming to be a lady named Anita Kakuj, who tells him that she is "sentenced to death" from an incurable disease and will donate her fortune of 175 thousand Euros to him. .

She had left a Kosovar lawyer with French citizenship, who claimed to be Francis Boyer, who promised to start the procedure for transferring the amount.

"I have been living in Sweden for 5 years. Suddenly they sent me an invitation on Facebook, Anisa Kakuj. I accept the invitation and it says that I am sick, I lived in France, now I am currently in Canada in the hospital and contact my lawyer and my property will be transferred to your name. 175 thousand Euros", says Shpëtim Qosja.

In the message that Anisa Kakuj had sent to Shpeti, it was written: "Hello, how are you brother?" My name is Mrs. Anita Kakuj of Albanian origin. I want to donate my stuff to an honest person who needs it. I suffer from a serious illness which condemns me to certain death. It's throat cancer for which I had no cure. I could not get married until now, I did not have children. I would like to make a donation with reliable and sincere support, I want the donation of this amount before my death."

"Lawyer" Francis Boyer first requested 250 Euros and then 600 Euros from Shpetim for the procedures in order to complete the transaction. Initially, Salvation exceeded 250 Euros, but then it was stepped. That's why he asked for the help of "Stop" and together with the journalist, they asked him for information on where to send the money. He sent a name, Edon Gjoka to Kosovo. Edoni would receive this money. The Stop and Rescue reporter sent him only 10 Euros, in order to reveal his personal data.

Tomi Kallanxhi, technology specialist, tells about the phenomenon of online fraud and explains the filtering mechanisms we should have before we fall victim to online fraud.

"These schemes have started since 1600, it is called the scheme of the Spanish prisoner. There was a very famous pirate who was imprisoned and if you would bring him some money and help him while he was in prison, you would take all of this pirate's wealth and now we are in 2022 which is no longer pirates of Spain, but they are the pirates of Africa, but sometimes they are also used as transit individuals in certain countries to create higher credibility. The probability of us all dying from a meteor is greater than of someone from the entire planet giving you their wealth. And nothing ever comes by chance. The transactions will always be done with PayPal because if you regret it even within 30 days you can withdraw the money back or through banking institutions.
