The press release from the Rinteln police about the attempted granddaughter tricks had just been sent out when a 78-year-old victim reported a situation in which the fraudsters' scam led to the fatal accident caused by the granddaughter.
Grandchild trick: When your granddaughter calls with shocking news
On November 29th, the 78-year-old woman from Engern, Südstrasse, received a call from what was supposed to be her granddaughter, who shouted into the phone that she had killed a woman and that her child's life was in danger. The totally shocked senior citizen was firmly convinced that she was actually speaking to her granddaughter and was then forwarded to “Commissioner Claudia Wagner” from the Minden police, of course a fake persona just like the “granddaughter”.
Fatal accident: bail
Ms. Wagner explained to her that there had been a fatal traffic accident in Minden and that the granddaughter of the person she called was the one who caused the accident. The senior citizen was named as a confidant by her granddaughter and allowed to contact anyone or end the phone call. Your granddaughter will be brought before the judge.
“Prosecutor Weber” was able to inform about the possibility of bail, and he then called the senior citizen on her cell phone. He announced that there was a “special paragraph” that meant that the court and public prosecutor could also collect money or other valuables from the senior citizen as a deposit because she said that she was not able to drive herself.
As instructed, the victim then left all of her jewelry and valuable watches in front of the door. Everything was picked up there at 6 p.m. by a woman who the injured party was not allowed to contact. This woman was supposed to be a cashier of the court.
Call for witnesses about fraudsters/grandchildren's trick: The police are now hoping that possible witnesses saw a woman who was behaving suspiciously in the area of Südstrasse around 6 p.m. Maybe someone saw whether this woman got into a car. In total, the injured party left jewelry worth an estimated 20,000 euros on her doorstep . The woman who picked up the car was said to have had a normal build and was wearing a dark hat. The Rinteln police are accepting tips on the new number 05751/9646-0 .
