The Guardia Civil is investigating three members of the same family - aged 55, 35 and 36 - in Priego de Córdoba, on suspicion that they swindled an elderly disabled man out of 11,000 euros.
Officers launched the investigation after a complaint was filed in the Priego de Córdoba police station.
According to the investigation, it happened in June, when the suspects convinced the elderly man to go to Malaga, where they got hold of his card.
According to the police report, the scammers had taken the victim's card and PIN number to make numerous purchases in establishments in Malaga and Priego de Córdoba. They had also withdrawn money from ATM cash machines.
The collaboration of banks and the testimony of the victim helped the police identify the suspects and arrest them for a fraud offence.
The proceedings have been handed over to the courts.
