The dark side of the digital world

In our increasingly digitized society, fraud is no longer uncommon. Recently, a 59-year-old man made a victim of a so-called "Windows trick". His computer showed a supposed warning that credibly pointed out threats to his device. In this way he was motivated to contact a specified hotline. A fraudster who ended up as Windows employee was given access to his computer and manipulated his data.

After the screen became black and the fraudster promised to delete viruses, the Mendener was instead made it easier for a four -digit amount. This type of fraud is alarming because it shows how defenseless the consumers are from the Internet against well -staged attacks.

love scamming: Another perfidious stitch

Another example of the sophistication of modern fraudsters is the story of a 67-year-old woman from Menden. In search of a new life partner via a dating app, she developed a relationship with a so-called "love scammer" over a period of several months. However, the man's intentions were anything but honorable. He convinced the woman to provide him with financial support by opening an account with a credit company.

What followed were demands of several thousand euros, combined with the suspicion of being illegally involved in money laundering. The police urgently warn of those who use human emotions to gain financial advantages.

public security in the swimming pool at risk

These frauds were carried out at a time when local security was also questioned by an incident in the leisure area. In the afternoon of the same day, the police were called to a swimming pool on the mayor-Rau-Straße at 3:45 p.m. A 16-year-old had repeatedly violated the bathing rules and provoked unrest among the guests.

After the employees of the swimming pool tried to guide it out of the water, the young person found this as physical violence and complained about it. The parents were informed and criminal proceedings were initiated for suspected assault. This incident also underlines the importance of rules and respectful behavior in public space.

conclusion: sensitization is required

The current events in Menden urgently show how important it is to clarify the population about fraud stitches and rules of conduct in public institutions. The digital space carries risks that may not be ignored. At the same time, it is crucial to stay vigilant in social interactions and to follow the rules in everyday life in order to ensure both your own security and that of the community.
