Senior woman in Langenfeld: Fraudsters are a police officer!

A terrifying fraud is beaten in Langenfeld! On Monday afternoon, November 18, 2024, a 90-year-old senior citizen was the victim of an unscrupulous perpetrator. This was a police officer and targeted the jewelry of the older lady. Under the pretext that burglaries had taken place in the neighborhood and the police had to register valuables, the fraudster was able to build trust.

at 3:20 p.m. the lady finally handed over her valuable jewelry box to a pick -up. It was unnoticed that the supposed police officer was actually a fraudster who spoke fluently German and gave himself with a higher expression. It is described as about 25 to 30 years old, 1.70 m tall, with a black wool hat and dark sports suit. What a brazen stitch!

The case again shows the need to educate older neighbors and relatives about fraud stitches and to warn them.
