Mainz – A Hamburg financial institution demanded an allegedly outstanding amount of 9,800 euros from a Mainz citizen over the telephone.
On Tuesday, the 78-year-old received a call from Hamburg. An alleged clerk explained to him an outstanding debt from a debt collection company. They had submitted a decision from the Hamburg District Court and the claim was justified. For verification purposes, the man from Mainz was given a mobile phone number of an alleged judge at the Hamburg district court.
He then made him an offer over the phone to transfer 2,000 euros within two hours in order to prevent his account from being seized. However, he did not accept this offer and ended the conversation.
There was another call on Wednesday morning. This time he was told the same story, just with a different bank name. However, when the attentive retiree asked for written documents, the conversation ended. There was no financial damage.
