Nuremberg: cheater pretends to be a granddaughter - senior woman hands over money to an unknown man
A scammer pretended to be her granddaughter and said she was in a bad car accident.
She would need tens of thousands of euros in money to repair the vehicle.
The helpful victim wanted to help immediately and handed the desired amount to an unknown man around 5 p.m.
Apparently that was not enough for the fraudsters.
The alleged granddaughter called the older woman again and asked again for tens of thousands of euros to cover further costs of the alleged accident.
About a quarter of an hour later, the elderly woman handed the amount back to the unknown person who was collecting money on the street.
