Actor Gerardo Romano stated today that he still feels "insecure, affected, and anguished" after nearly falling victim to a virtual scam. The scammers intended to extort money from him for a bail payment, claiming his daughter Rita was involved in an incident. "It happened with her... She called me crying, told me she had been hurt, that a man had been killed in the incident... that they had to perform a paraffin test on her... I was desperate," the actor added in an interview with the 'Basta Baby' show on Radio Rivadavia. Subsequently, Romano recounted that "I spoke with my daughter's mother (Romina Krasinsky), I told her and she was stunned. And I had to pay a bail" of an amount close to 55 thousand dollars. When commenting on the scam attempt, Romano shared: "A policeman called me, Reinoso or I don't know how the hell... He communicated that my daughter had been involved in an incident, that she had been hurt and was being detained." "I don't know if my soul returned to my body, I am still insecure, anguished, and affected" by what happened, and he did not hide his annoyance with the country's situation. "It's never happened to me, but it was apparently an acting demonstration," Romano confided, referring to the woman who pretended to be his daughter during the phone call and was about to trick him, according to the Argentine News Agency. After that, I contacted a criminal lawyer to see how we would handle the bail payment, and then my ex-partner calls me again and tells me that my daughter was fine, at the beach with friends".
