Wrong police officers in Kamp-Bornhofen: Seniors in great danger!

Kamp-Bornhofen, Deutschland - in Kamp-Bornhofen there was a brazen fraud in which unknowns spent out as police officers and a 90-year-old woman ripped off. In the afternoon of December 18, 2024, between 11:30 a.m. and 11:50 a.m., the perpetrators asked for a high cash amount on the phone, supposedly to pay a deposit. After the fraudsters communicated with the elderly woman, they appeared personally to collect the money, such as news.de reported .

The police urge to warn: "Police officers never demand cash or valuables on the phone." This fraudulent stitch is primarily directed against older people and has recently increased.
