TOKYO: A 93-year-old woman in western Japan outsmarted a suspected scammer by pretending to fall for the scheme and helping police arrest him at her home, an officer told AFP on Monday (Oct 26).

Japan has the second-oldest population in the world after Monaco, and senior citizens are often targeted by fraudsters, who last year collectively stole around 325.7 billion yen (US$2.0 billion) from their victims.

东京：一名警官周一（10月26日）告诉法新社，日本西部一名93岁的老妇人假装上当受骗，帮助警方在家中逮捕了一名涉嫌诈骗的男子，从而识破了骗子的伎俩。

日本是世界上人口老龄化程度第二高的国家，仅次于摩纳哥。老年人经常成为诈骗分子的目标，去年诈骗分子共从受害者手中骗取了约 3257 亿日元（20 亿美元）。
