🤯 Scammer poses as coach of a Brazilian giant 🇧🇷 to ask players for PIX | OneFootball

A scammer pretended to be Grêmio coach Luis Castro to pull off scams and ask the club’s players for PIX transfers.

The criminal managed to fool forward Enamorado and take R$ 22,500.

The scammer was arrested this Wednesday (2) in a joint operation by the civil police of Rio Grande do Sul and Rio de Janeiro.

According to GZH, the “fake Luis Castro” talked with Enamorado for days. He asked about training, off-field matters, and other topics.

After gaining the player’s trust, the scammer asked for a PIX transfer of R$ 22,500 to buy food baskets for donations. It was a lie.

Also according to GZH, the criminal told center-back Kannemann to come to training earlier. He also tried to fool Internacional idol D’Alessandro.

Kannemann became suspicious, contacted the club, and realized it was a lie. D’Alessandro also found it strange and did not continue the conversation.

Although the scammer has been arrested, the police still have not recovered the money.
