Fraudulent fake police officers: 81-year-old loses 17,000 euros!

Wien, Österreich - A shocking fraud brought an 81-year-old woman in Vienna for 17,000 euros, reports krone.at . The perpetrator pretended to be a police officer on the phone and assured the old lady that her money was no longer safe from the bank due to the current wave of ATM. In order to protect her savings, the good -faith woman was panicked and took two banks with a taxi ordered by the fraudster, where she took large amounts. When she came back home, the alleged policeman was already waiting in her apartment.

Just when the pensioner wanted to hand over the money to him, she became suspicious and demanded her money back. The fraudster, an approximately 35 -year -old man of around 1.80 meters, in a blue uniform with the inscription "police", immediately escaped. Despite an immediately initiated search by the police, the perpetrator remained undetected, which increases the concerns about the security of seniors during this time.
