Experienced fraud in Weimar: Tricker on the phone exposes!

Weimar, Deutschland - On Friday afternoon, a bank employee from Weimar reported to the police after a customer received an alarming phone call. Tricks had pretended to be officials and claimed that the 66-year-old woman would have to pay 38,000 euros as a deposit to avert an alleged custody of their relatives due to a fatal traffic accident. But the woman remained wide awake and informed the bank employee about the attempted fraud, who then took measures immediately.

Thanks to this quick reaction, a handover of the money could be prevented, but the perpetrators remain undetected. The Weimar police use this incident to urge such fraud stitches. She emphasizes that the police never request cash or valuables and that calls can only come from fraudsters under emergency number 110. In suspected cases, citizens should always contact their relatives themselves and cannot be put under pressure. When calling suspects, it is important to inform the police immediately.
