Police warn: Fraudulent tar crews are up to mischief in Moosburg!
The alarm bells cannot be ignored in Moosburg: the police warn urgently about shady tar crews that are causing mischief in the city and the surrounding areas. A foreman knocks on the doors of residential and commercial buildings and offers supposedly cheap tar work. Such offers seem tempting at first glance, but upon closer inspection they often turn out to be a trap. According to merkur.de, the supposed prices per square meter can quickly skyrocket, and after the work is completed, it often turns out that there are defects that those affected can no longer correct because the columns have long since disappeared.
The police have already registered four cases from Moosburg and the neighboring community of Mauern, in which the bills were between 4,000 and 17,000 euros. A huge amount for shoddy work where the agreed guarantees are illusory as the companies responsible are mostly based abroad. Victims are often left with the frustrating realization that the sum they invested has gone up in smoke. What is particularly noticeable is that the fraudsters often drive vehicles that have foreign license plates, often French or British.
Advice and prevention
The Moosburg police ask all citizens to be more vigilant and to report suspicious incidents immediately. The motto is to call (08761) 30180 if you come across such offers or are affected yourself. It is advisable to look twice at such work contracts and not to be blinded by supposed prices.
In addition, citizens are advised to inform themselves about the rights they are entitled to under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These include, among other things, the right to information about stored data and the opportunity to correct or delete incorrect data. All information about this is well listed on the website aurelia.bplaced.net so that everyone can easily understand the necessary steps in the event of fraud.
Although such fraudulent scams do not paint the everyday picture of Moosburg, it is important to remain vigilant. Even if the local economy is affected by dubious offers, we hope that the incidents will be clarified soon and that the perpetrators will be held accountable. Together we can ensure that such trickery does not become part of our neighborhood.
