Sometimes it is the “ Stuttgart Prison Authority ”, sometimes the “ Stattgart Seizure Office ”, the “ Stuttgart District Court ” or the “ Stuttgart Prison ” that supposedly calls, but the scam is always the same (as we HERE and HERE and HERE ): A call with the area code 0711, a female voice claiming that you have thousands of euros in debt, a lawsuit is threatened, or alternatively an out-of-court settlement.

It would be completely understandable if authorities wanted to save paper. But not even an email, but a phone call from an unfriendly, nameless woman? That can not be right!

Beware of costs when calling the “Seizure Office Stuttgart”

The Stuttgart District Court itself points out on its website (see HERE ) that payment requests are always sent in writing, never by telephone.
In addition, during the telephone call you are urged to connect to a paid connection:

“For some time now, there has been an increasing number of callers all over Germany pretending to be employees of the Stuttgart District Court and demanding payment of money. A non-existent number or even a number for the Stuttgart District Court often appears on the telephone display of the person being called.

We have also become aware of cases in which a recorded message asked those called to press “1” or “2” on the keyboard if the request was accepted in order to receive further information.
This is intended to redirect the call to a chargeable queue.

We would like to point out that such calls are not made by employees of the Stuttgart District Court.
Payment requests are always sent in writing by post. We recommend filing a criminal complaint with the local police station.”

Conclusion: Don't even engage in a conversation (if at all possible), don't respond to any threats, just hang up, block the number, and file a criminal complaint with the responsible police station.
