Fraudsters put pressure on someone from Dießen (65) on Wednesday.
His account had been blocked and he had to transfer 2,300 euros.
Shortly thereafter, an alleged lawyer reported who wanted to save the Dießener from a trial if he would transfer 6,000 euros.
The man from Dießen was about to follow the instructions.
Dießen - When he tried to fill out the transfer slip at the bank, an attentive bank clerk kept him from falling for the fraud. She referred the man to the police and prevented financial damage. The police advise caution as such calls are increasing. Various meshes are described at polizei-beratung.de.
