  "account": "Laura Marchena took out a loan from a bank, only to discover she would have to spend 12 years paying back €26,000 she never actually received. A man claiming to be a bank employee told her he was helping to prevent a fraud, but in fact he was draining her account. The man, claiming to have official credentials, told Marchena that someone in Albacete was trying to take out a loan in her name. To prevent this, he instructed her to take out the loan herself and then return it to the bank.",
