Fraudulent shock! Police warn of dangerous telephone tricks in Bocholt

Bocholt, Deutschland - alarm level red in the Borken circle!

The police raise the alarm in front of brazen fraudsters who put young and older people into panicked conditions with perfidious shock calls! The stitch is particularly up to date in the Bocholt area, where the fraudsters let the telephone lines run hot. Completely unscrupulously, they pretend that a serious traffic accident has happened, staged a desperate daughter and then demand horrendous sums for an alleged deposit to free the supposed child from pre -trial detention. The called people experience an emotional state of emergency in which they are under immense pressure to act immediately.

Caution, trap!

Just put on!", is the urgent advice of the police.

The authorities emphasize the population of being skeptical and acting immediately when such calls arrive. If in doubt, you should contact the police or trustworthy people. The call to vigilance is clear: Anyone who becomes the victim of such frauds should not be afraid to file a complaint!
