There are currently increasing attempts at fraud by false bailiffs, particularly in the area of the county of Hoya.
Call from a blocked number
The unknown people contact the injured party by telephone with a suppressed number and pretend to be a bailiff at a local court. To supposedly legitimize the call, the fraudsters use the first and last name of a real bailiff.
By pretending that outstanding claims arise from a concluded contract or subscription (allegedly a long time ago), the injured parties are tricked into making transfers in order to avoid legal proceedings or seizure of property.
Tips:
- Be suspicious
- Do not transfer money or hand over valuables
- Don't let yourself be put under pressure
- If in doubt, contact your local police station
- If there are actual enforcements, you will be contacted by post; a phone call will only be made in absolutely exceptional cases
