A woman scammed by a group of gypsy women, like the hairdresser who later committed suicide, spoke on Telenoche about her ordeal. She said she went to the courts in 2022 with five friends, after hesitating due to shame and fear of not being taken seriously.
In an interview on Telenoche, another victim of the so-called 'gypsy scammers' shared details of how she was deceived, similar to the case of the hairdresser from Lomas de Zamora who took her own life after falling victim to the same group. The woman explained that, along with five friends, she fell into the trap at an unspecified time but delayed reporting due to feelings of shame.
"I was ashamed to report it", the victim admitted, adding: "I thought I had control of the situation". Finally, in 2022, they decided to file a complaint with the courts, driven by a desire for justice despite fears that their story would not be taken seriously. The case gained renewed public attention following the hairdresser's suicide, highlighting the psychological impact of these scams in Lomas de Zamora.
Sources indicate that the group of scammers operated in the area, affecting multiple women. No exact amounts or specific methods are detailed in the statements, but the testimony underscores the challenges victims face in seeking help.
