Wallenhorst, Deutschland - Osnabrück (ots)

A shocking fraud is shaken Wallenhorst! On Thursday evening, a 68-year-old woman became the victim of unscrupulous perpetrators who spoke out as police officers. With a perfidious plan, they managed to capture a five -digit cash amount. The act of deception began with a call from an alleged prosecutor named "Simone Meyer". She warned the senior citizen that a arrested burglar had been found her address and that a break -in is imminent.

To protect her money, the woman was asked to contact a police officer named "Mr. Rose". And that was the decisive mistake! At around 6:45 p.m., a man knocked on the door and introduced himself as "Mr. Rose". He accepted the money and immediately disappeared. Who was this stranger and where did he go? The police are urgently looking for references!

The perpetrator on the run!

The description of the pick-up is alarming: about 25 to 30 years old, slim, around 175 cm tall, with short dark hair and a 2-3-day beard. Particularly noteworthy: he did not speak German -free German! Who could be this perpetrator? The Osnabrück police are calling the population to report if they saw suspicious people or vehicles between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Important: The police will never pick up cash or valuables for "security"! Skepticism is the order of the day for such calls - always inform the real police! Every hint could be crucial to put the craft of these fraudsters.
