Caution: tricksters in Gelsenkirchen strike again!

The police in Gelsenkirchen urgently warn of a perfidious trick fraud in which false police officers are targeted. On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, a 70-year-old man was the victim of this stitch. Based on a call from an alleged bank security officer who spoke of alleged money transfer abroad, the senior's trust was obtained. Shortly afterwards he received another call from someone who spent a police officer and announced the visit of a "police officer" from the Netherlands.

The fraudsters, who appeared civilian, convinced the older man to get his entire cash out of the safe and put it on the table. While the senior was in the adjoining room, the fraudster made himself out of dust with the cash. The suspect is described as about 30 to 40 years old, 1.65 meters tall, slightly rotten with dark hair and beard. He was wearing a dark knitting sweater and a quilted vest and spoke with a slight accent. Information on the case is accepted in the criminal commissioner 21 under 0209 365 8112 or at the crime guard on 0209 365 8240 www.presseportal.de .
