Fraud anenior: false bank employee steals 4-digit amount!

Mönchengladbach, Deutschland - Mönchengladbach (ots)

A shocking fraud is shaken by the city: an 82-year-old senior citizen was the victim of a perfidious trickster! On Monday, November 4, around 11:30 a.m., she received an apparently harmless call from a wrong bank employee. She warned them of suspicious debit on her account and promised that a "real" bank employee would come by to pick up her bank card. Naive and in the assumption to trust her bank, the pensioner got involved in the deal.

As soon as the phone call was over, the doorbell rang! In front of her was allegedly the bank employee, whom she immediately presented her bank card and even revealed her PIN number. But soon she came over a bad feeling. Instinctively, she called at her house bank and found the incredible festival: the employee was a fraudster! But the rescue came too late: a four -digit amount had already been withdrawn from her account.

important warning of the police

The police are alarmed and warns for caution! Fraudsters are often extremely convincing. They strongly advise: never believe that a call or a message actually comes from your bank. If in doubt, you should visit your bank's official website directly or use the customer service number that is on the back of your bank card. Remember: your bank never asks about confidential information such as passwords or pins! Never share such data via email, SMS, telephone or at the front door! Protect yourself and do not let yourself be led!
