Stade, Deutschland - Stade, October 31, 2024. The 85-year-old senior citizen met a shocking fraud in Stade! On Monday she received a call from a supposed police officer who pushed her up a brazen lie. He claimed that her neighbor had been attacked and a list of names and addresses was found on which her name was. In order to protect her valuables, the senior woman was tempted to put cash and jewelry in front of her door in a yellow jute bag.

While she was still on the phone with the fraudster, an unknown man sneaked over and reached the bag! The senior could only see him from behind, but described him as a young man with short black hair who wore a black anorak, dark jeans and white sneakers. The damage? A medium five -digit amount! A perfidious move that exploited the trust of the older lady and brought her to her savings.
