Overview
- The victim received a scripted call lasting over an hour from a woman who gave her name as Graciela Rodríguez and claimed to work for ANSES.
- While the call continued, a man posing as her son's accountant entered the Santa Fe home and collected cash hidden in a bathroom and a small room.
- The family reports $43,000 and €40,000 were stolen, representing decades of savings intended in part for a home purchase.
- No arrests have been announced as investigators analyze telephone lines and nearby cameras, while the son criticizes a slow initial police response that may have cost evidence.
- The son says another elderly resident was targeted the same day about a kilometer away, prompting renewed warnings that agencies do not send couriers to pick up cash.
