“Dad, something terrible has happened!” The phone calls either began with these words or an alleged police officer introduced himself and reported on a serious traffic accident caused by the son or daughter. The caller later asks for bail to avoid the threat of prison. So it's like always, the unexpected call starts with a shock and ends with a demand for money!
The stories have no basis. Don't let the stories over the phone take you by surprise. The fraudsters do not shy away from shocking their victims with messages in order to start a conversation. If you get involved in the phone call, it will soon be about money or valuables. At that point at the latest, all alarm bells should be ringing and the message is: hang up!
