The tragic news of little Domenico's death has led to the emergence of fraudulent schemes exploiting the family's grief. As the news spread on social media, individuals began soliciting donations supposedly to support the family or fund the child's funeral. Unfortunately, these individuals, referred to as 'vultures', wasted no time in attempting to profit from the tragedy, targeting well-meaning individuals unaware of the deceit.

Domenico's family has voiced their concerns, making it clear that they are not seeking donations and have no connection to these disgraceful scams. Francesco Petruzzi, the lawyer representing the family, has reported instances where the child's images were used alongside bank account details in fraudulent pleas for money, which prompted the family to take action. They plan to file a complaint with postal authorities to address these sinister manipulations leveraging their profound loss.

In addition to their heavy sorrow over losing Domenico, the family now faces the challenge of handling these fraudulent activities that add insult to their grief. They wish for privacy and to be allowed to remember their son in peace, free from the exploitation of those looking to profit from such an unfortunate event.
