On Tuesday, August 30th, 2022, between around 12:00 and around 12:15 p.m., it will be in the parking lot of a grocery store on Konrad-Adenauer-Str. There was a fraud committed by two male people in Rinteln. An 18-year-old and a 23-year-old from Duisburg posed as “fundraisers” for the “State Association for Disabled and Deaf and Mute Children”. The young men asked passersby for monetary donations and wrote down donors' personal information on clipboards and signature lists.

Fraud investigations are ongoing

The Rinteln police are investigating these cases for fraud. A “state association for disabled and deaf-mute children” does not exist in the form shown. Witnesses and the injured parties who provide money are asked to call 05751/95450.

Furthermore, it should be noted that reputable fundraisers identify themselves to those willing to pay by means of an ID card from their institution and sometimes also have written approval from the municipalities. However, this is handled differently from state to state. However, as in the current case, payments should be avoided and special care should be taken with the cash containers you are carrying.
