Attention, donation fraudsters! Police warn of unscrupulous perpetrators in Altenberge

The shock sits deep in the Steinfurt district! Last Monday, October 21, there was a brazen donation fraud in Altenberge, which took place in front of a discount market. Two unscrupulous perpetrators performed clamping boards and gifts to collect donations for a regional association for disabled people and deaf and deaf. Many good -faith passers -by, especially older people, were targeted by these fraudsters.

The police warn: These criminal activities increase in the run -up to Christmas! The perpetrators are not afraid to lie to the most in need of protection. With fake forms and logos of supposedly serious organizations, they try to awaken trust. The unsuspecting donors sign in good faith, but the truthful intention of the perpetrators is to put the money into your own pocket and not help the needy children.

This is how the fraud works!

The fraudsters act cerably in front of supermarkets and other shops and shamelessly use the good -naturedness of people. They specifically address older people and represent themselves as a willing helper. The police have already given clear requests for action: relatives and passers -by should be listening! Anyone who notices suspects in shops or public places should not hesitate and immediately alert the police. We prevent these fraudsters from being able to do their mischief!
