Alarm in Koblenz: fraudulent antique transactions uncovered!

In the Koblenz area, reports are increasing about dubious antique transactions that consist of fraud and theft. The criminal police are already investigating in several cases that were triggered by tempting paper flyers in daily newspapers. Interested sellers should be on the hat: If the supposed buyers come to the front door, they often also ask for jewelry and offer a down payment to take the goods immediately - without making the promised remaining payment.

The police urgently warns of these tricks! It is advised to hand over jewelry or valuables only after a written agreement and transfer of money, ideally in the presence of witnesses. Single people in particular are recommended to obtain advice from friends or relatives and to contact the police in case of doubt. Protect your values - be careful!
