Fraudsters alerted pensioners: 50,000 euros and jewelry in Lübeck captured!
Lübeck, Deutschland - A shocking incident recently occurred in Scharbeutz, a charming place in the Ostholstein district. A 78-year-old man fell victim to an unscrupulous fraudster and lost a considerable sum of 50,000 euros, consisting of cash and jewelry.
All of this started with a call from a supposed emergency. The fraudster informed the victim that a relative was involved in a fatal traffic accident and was now due a deposit that was on the order of five -digit amounts. How tragic is it that in times when people have to lose so much, they also have to suffer such brazen attacks!
The fraud in detail
The fraudster had exploited the tragedy of the Situation clever. After the victim was panicked, it agreed with the caller at short notice. In Lübeck, on the Obertrave near the corner of Marlesgrube, the money and jewelry were handed over. The police have started the investigation since then and are looking for witnesses who may have seen the suspect 28- to 30-year-old man on Wednesday evening.
Such criminal cases are not new, but they increase to a frightening extent. The authorities have been warning of fraud for years that are particularly often targeting older people. It is urgently needed that family members and friends sensitively indicate the possible dangers and help those affected to protect themselves from such attacks.
Although the police are already active, the question remains how many people still happen. Such stories show how careful you should be to communicate with unknown callers. The emergency mesh appears authentic, but is the work of extremely brazen fraudsters who are able to shamelessly exploit the trust of their victims.
