Fraudsters vary as police officers: 89-year-old loses assets!

In the Saarpfalz district, a shocking fraud occurred, in which telephone fraudsters elicited a six-figure amount to a 89-year-old. The unscrupulous fraudsters output themselves on the phone as police officers and prosecutors and gave the senior the impression that his daughter and son -in -law were involved in a serious traffic accident. In order to avert impending custody, they demanded immediate financial support.

The old man fell on the brazen stitch and handed over cash and valuables in a parking space in Homburg in a suitcase. Only after he had handed over the valuable things that did he contact his son -in -law to get advice. He almost had protection: On Tuesday before, the fraudsters tried to reach him several times, but his bank was closed so that he could not transfer.

warning of the police

The Saarland police urgently warns of such attempts to fraud. Especially for calls where money is required or pressure is set up, it is better to put on immediately and avoid the connection. It is important to know that the real police will never accept cash or valuables. The history of the 89-year-old is a dramatic example of how quickly you can get into the catch of fraudulent stitches.
