Scammers are always looking to harm their victims. This time they managed to secure a big loot.
On Sunday afternoon it became known that fake police officers had deceived a victim with their psychological tricks and made loot of several tens of thousands of euros. In the case reported, the perpetrators posed as police officers who wanted to “secure” the assets of the couple they contacted.
The stitch
In this context, the perpetrators often tell the story that there have been break-ins nearby and that for this reason they have to “document” the victims’ valuables and cash. If a break-in has occurred, if stolen goods are found, they can be attributed to the injured parties and thus help the police to arrest the perpetrators.
The valuables should therefore be handed over to the alleged police officers, who will of course return them after the documentation has been completed. Unfortunately, this did not happen and as a result cash and coin collections worth several tens of thousands of euros disappeared.
Apparently the perpetrators had contact with the couple for several days and after a single contact they were no longer able to let them out of their “clutches”. Basically, the police will never want to pick up or secure valuables from you! Nor will any public prosecutor or other “authority” do this. Always end such conversations immediately and call 110.
Behavior tips:
This is what the police advise victims of fake police officers
- If a call seems doubtful to you, do not answer
the conversation.
If you are contacted on the Internet and want to be recruited, do not accept these offers
. - The police will never ask you to hand over money or valuables
. - The police never call the emergency number 110 -
only fraudsters do that.
Call your local police station and describe the situation. - Never provide information about your personal or
financial circumstances over the telephone. - Don't let yourself be put under pressure on the phone,
just put the receiver down. - Don't open the door to strangers.
- Do not give money or valuables to strangers.
Do you think you have been a victim of fraud?
Contact your local police station and file a report.
