Shock call in Ratingen: Pair of senior citizens loses valuable gold bars!

On Tuesday, February 4, 2025, a pair of senior citizens in Ratingen fell victim to a brazen shock call. The 81-year-old woman and her 85-year-old husband were cheated, with the unknown perpetrators captured gold bars worth several ten thousand euros. The police published the description of a suspect: an approximately 45-year-old man, 1.80 meters tall, with a Mediterranean appearance and long, backwards, appeared.

The police use this incident to urge the tricks of professionally acting fraudsters. Neither the police nor the public prosecutor would accept questions or valuables for "safe custody" on the phone. Suspicious calls should be ended immediately and the real police should be contacted under number 110. Protect yourself and your loved ones from these unscrupulous fraudsters!
