Fraudsters in Winterberg: Caution to false police officers!

In the Hochsauerlandkreis, unscrupulous fraudsters are on the move who pretend to be police officers and try to bring unsuspecting citizens for money and valuables. In Winterberg, several affected people have already received calls in which the fraudsters operate with different stitches. They warn of alleged accidents of relatives and demand horrendous deposits to avoid impending imprisonment - a perfidious shock call!

The police warn that these fraudsters take advantage of emotional emergencies and exert pressure to get their victims' money. But that's not all: Even with false burglaries and the brazen WhatsApp stitch "I have a new number", the fraudsters shoot out their networks. The police give clear instructions for action: put on suspicion immediately and choose the 110, do not reveal any details about your own assets and never hand over money or valuables to strangers. Caution is advised - protect yourself from such fraudsters and act cleverly!
