An 83-year-old pensioner from Sibenik lost nearly 6,000 euros after transferring money to a woman he met on a social network. She repeatedly asked for help with alleged financial problems, and he kept sending funds before the fraud was discovered. The case is being reported as a reminder of how romance scams increasingly target elderly people across Croatia.

Why now: Romance fraud targeting elderly victims is a growing concern, and this case shows how costly it can be.
