The State Prosecutor's Office filed an indictment against a 61-year-old Netanya resident for stealing hundreds of thousands of shekels from approximately 50 Russian-speaking elderly individuals. According to the charges, the man operated a fraud network that exploited the vulnerability of dozens of seniors, as well as their limited Hebrew language abilities, fraudulently obtaining money and credit card details from them. In most cases, the accused impersonated service company or bank employees during phone calls, and convinced the elderly to remotely install remote control applications on their phones - through which he stole their details.
