At least twelve mayors they would have been cheated with the story of the machinery heavy to deal with the emergency that is going through the north of the country. They must not only withstand floodsrainshuaicos or overflows, but also the deception of a subject who took advantage of the situation.
This guy posed as a general named “Oscar Delgado Delgado” with the purpose of promising to deliver trucks and trailers to move the machinery such as motorized pumps to remove the masses of mud and stagnant water for several days. Final point revealed that through the fuel story they asked for money for this transport to reach the affected districts.
The mayor of Motupe, Carlos Falla Castillo He assured that he communicated with “Delgado” only by telephone, but he never had contact in person. However, he began to suspect that something was wrong after they refused to send a machine to attend to the district that he leads.
“He told me that the president had called him to serve Motupe with the machinery, but then he told me that he could not send me the machinery and that if we could assume the cost of fuel in Lima, it already made me suspect something, because in the management public, nobody asks you for something like that ”, he declared to the aforementioned medium.
Given this, he assured that he immediately contacted the Regional Council of Lambayeque, Gustavo Espinoza, to inform him of what happened and if the general who was contacted was trustworthy. This is how, he realizes that it was a scam, assured the regional official.
Espinoza, also a former congressman, showed the recording when he contacted the alleged fraudster, where he indicated that they would already be making the deposit of S/3,000 and then the machinery would be delivered. He also points out that he sent the number to another mayor.
“Generally, I am already coordinating, they are going to make the deposit of the three thousand soles, so if they do not deposit it interbank,” he mentioned.
the burgomaster Daniel Rivera, It also adds to the list of those who would have been scammed with the same case. In this sense, he affirmed that Gustavo Espinoza was the one who sent him the contact to complete the alleged contract.
“The counselor Gustavo Espinoza, he sent me the contact and just told me to coordinate with him, because he was in charge (the alleged fraudster) of uploading machinery to all districts. So, I have called him and we have made all the deposits for the low beds and so far he rings and rings, but he does not answer me, ”he mentioned.
In addition, he stated that they told him to calculate the fuel consumption of the vehicle that would move the machinery. “With that they bought fuel and invoiced with the name of the municipality. We send him S / 5,600, he added.
The edile authority states that I trust the people who were contacted, because the data was provided by the regional councilor. In this way, he managed to deposit Cynthia Cabana Lazo whom the fraudster claimed was the secretary of the Ministry of Defense.
In turn, he specified that he will file the corresponding complaint at the police station and requested the information of those who would be behind this scam.
The Sunday man managed to communicate with Oscar Delgado and argued that someone is usurping his identity to carry out this type of crime in the midst of an emergency. The general retired in 2016, but in the State Portal he still appears as head of the Secretary of National Security and Defense, that is, the data is not up to date.
“This is a situation that comes in 2021, the first contact I get for scam. (…) He did it first with oxygen, ”she pointed out.
According to the outlet, the mayor of Leonardo Ortíz, Elber RequejoHe filed a complaint at his local police station. While, the burgomasters of Jayanca and Pacora did not fall for this scam
