Brazen fraud in Lörrach: 67-year-old loses everything to healer!

in Lörrach, Germany, a 67-year-old woman experienced a brazen scam on December 4 when she fell into an alleged "miracle healer". The unknown perpetrator addressed the woman in the lever park in Russian and offered to free her son from a curse. In order to ensure this service, the 67-year-old's cash must first be "cleaned", as the police reported in a press release. Shortly afterwards, a second woman was added who raved about the abilities of the alleged healer and persuaded the 67-year-old to hand over her cash.

The fraudster wrapped the money in a cloth to "clean" it, and later only gave back the unsuspecting woman by snippets of paper. The 67-year-old was instructed to get to the lever park again on December 12th to save her son. Only then did she begin to doubt whether she had actually been cheated. This is not the first incident of this kind in Lörrach; Similar fraudsters had already struck in August. The police, who are now looking for witnesses again, would like to warn against further incidents and receive clues, since the stitch is obviously not new. The perpetrators are described as about 60 to 65 years old and of firm stature, a dark trousers and a black jacket, while the accomplice wore a blue coat, such as reporters from Badische Zeitung reported.

The police in Waldshut-Tiengen examine the cases intensively and searches for indications of the two women who apparently addressed Russian-speaking victims. The police spokesman Thorsten Stauch said that so far no concrete indications indicate that these are the same perpetrators that were also active in August. However, the police do not want to rule out and remains vigilant to prevent further fraud cases, so 20 minutes. .
