Caution, fraud! Iserlohner falls for false police officers

A wealthy Iserlohn (60) fell victim to a sophisticated fraudster yesterday, who spent out as a police officer. The unscrupulous perpetrator called her and told her an adventurous story: her name is on a list of arrested, which means that she could soon become a robbery victim. Under the pressure of the threatening scenario, the woman was persuaded to withdraw a five -digit amount of money from her bank and deposit it on her door.

When she later noticed that the money had disappeared, she became suspicious and turned to the real police to file a complaint about fraud. The police urgently warns of such stitches. "The police never cure valuables," emphasize the officials. You advise you not to reveal any information on the phone and never hand over money or jewelry to the front door. In case of doubt, the emergency number 110 should always be selected.
