Elderly Couple Scammed: Two Fraudsters Pose as Roofers in Gotha!

Pfortengasse, 99867 Gotha, Deutschland - On Friday afternoon, a brazen fraud was in Pfortengasse: two unknown men who spoke as craftsmen tricked an elderly couple. The 83-year-old homeowner fell for her oral offer for the roof repair and handed over 700 euros to the fraudsters in cash for materials.
