The fake police officer kept telling the elderly woman the story of an “undercover and secret investigation” for which money was now needed.

To do this, the fraudster called the 78-year-old several times a day and mentioned the names of alleged prosecutors, judges and a head of the criminal police in the conversations. The senior woman describes the caller's language as having no accent or dialect and estimates the caller's age to be 55 to 60 years old.

Senior woman relieved by several 10,000 euros

During the course of the discussions, it was finally agreed that cash and gold with a total value of several tens of euros would be handed over. In the afternoon hours of March 14, 2023, around 4:30 p.m., cash and gold, which the injured party had deposited at the front door as agreed, were handed over. A person dressed in dark clothing, for whom no further descriptive information is currently available, finally picked up the money around 4:30 p.m. and left the scene in an unknown direction.

The responsible KK 24 has taken over the further investigation into the case. In connection with the serious telephone fraud, the police point out that...

  • ...the police can be reached around the clock in the event of dubious callers - including via the emergency number 110 - and can provide quick advice and help
  • ...the police never “demand money” for pending or ongoing investigations.
  • As a general rule, the police will never ask you to hand over your valuables over the telephone! If you receive a suspicious call, simply hang up.
  • If you have become a victim of suspected fake police officers, file a criminal complaint immediately!
