Attention, Bielefeld: Fraudsters in the phone service - security code required!

Bielefeld, Deutschland - Attention, Bielefeld! The police warn of unscrupulous fraudsters who want to pretend as a postal employee and who want to steal security -relevant codes! On Monday, March 24, 2025, a 36-year-old Bielefeld received a call from a supposed postal employee at 1:30 p.m. The latter claimed to have a package for the called one and asked him to pass on a security code.

What followed was a classic fraud: With this code, the perpetrators gained access to the victim's telephone account and all the linked accounts. When the Bielefeld was notified by debit a short time later, he raised the alarm and filed a complaint with the police. Be careful, because this fraud can hit each of us!
