Google Play Cards to get profit
To get the money, he only has to buy Google Play cards worth 900 euros. The winnings would then be transferred. The 40-year-old bought the agreed Google Play cards and sent the prepaid cards. Since the 40-year-old had not seen anything of the winnings, he became suspicious and contacted the police.
A 69-year-old was luckier. He was called by an unknown woman who promised him 39,000 euros from a winnings. The 69-year-old immediately recognized the fraud and contacted the police directly.
Follow the tips from your police to protect yourself from telephone fraud
- Be aware: If you haven't taken part in a lottery, you can't have won anything!
- Never spend money to claim a supposed prize, pay any fees or dial special toll numbers (special toll numbers, for example, begin with the area code: 0900…, 0180…, 0137…).
- Do not make any promises over the phone.
- Never give out personal information: telephone numbers and addresses, account details, sort codes, credit card numbers or similar.
- Ask the caller for the name, address and telephone number of the person responsible, what type of competition it is and what exactly you won. Write down his answers.
- Reject unjustified demands for money.
- Protect yourself by revoking an alleged contract and challenging it due to fraudulent misrepresentation. Consumer advice centers offer sample letters for this purpose. These are available in the advice centers of the consumer advice centers and on the Internet ( www.verbraucherzentrale.de ).
- If you receive such a call, hang up and report it to your police.
- The prevention experts from the Rhineland-Palatinate police can provide information on how best to protect yourself against telephone fraud on 0621 963-1515.
