trick fraud on the Memmingen weekly market - a call for vigilance

On the last Saturday in June 2024, a trick fraud took place at the weekly market in Memmingen, which took off the local community. An 81-year-old man was victims of two women who cheated him on a low four-digit sum of money. Although the man only filed a complaint at the beginning of the week, the police are now hoping for information from the population to hold the fraudsters into account.

The two women first addressed the man on the market and asked for money. After giving ten euros, they took advantage of his willingness to help and persuaded him to borrow a larger amount of money. Under the pretext of having to pay the rent, the fraudsters managed to win the man's trust. Despite the promise to repay the money with interest, they continued to hold it by demanding money for the supposed surgery of their sick father.

The perpetrators who spoke as the sisters "Malina" and "Nicola" are valued at about 55 to 60 years and spoke broken German. The police in Memmingen asks the population to help you get more information about the fraudsters.

In a time when trick fraud becomes more and more sophisticated, it is important to remain vigilant and report suspicious situations to the police. Together we can help make our environment safer and to protect potential victims from financial losses.

If you also want to get involved against such cases, do not hesitate to contact the local police or report suspicious incidents. Your attention and actions can make a big difference and help to contain criminal machinations.
