Stockheimer falls for online fraud: 172 euros lost!
An annoying incident occurred in Stockheim that can make many of us think. A 60-year-old man fell victim to an online scam when he ordered resin paint for 172 euros. But his joy at the bargain didn't last long. The goods simply did not arrive and the online shop was no longer accessible. For this reason, the man filed a fraud report, as wiesentbote.de reports.
The question that now arises is: How safe are we on the Internet? The term “online” reminds us that the world of the Internet contains not only advantages but also dangers. Fraudsters are increasingly taking advantage of anonymity to lure unsuspecting buyers into a trap. Once again it becomes clear that caution is advised when shopping online.
A strange incident on the KU 3 district road
But that wasn't the only incident that concerned the police in the region. On Monday evening, a 43-year-old man got his van in a ditch along the KU 3 district road between Veitlahm and Höfstätten. He apparently wanted to turn around at the scene of the accident, but drove off the road. When police arrived, officers immediately noticed the strong smell of cannabis coming from the vehicle.
The driver admitted that he had previously smoked a joint. A voluntary alcohol test revealed a level of 1.7 per mille - that's more than just a little drink too much. The police stopped the man from continuing his journey and took him to the hospital to have a blood sample taken. Fortunately, no property damage was caused during the incident and a towing service recovered the van.
