It does not stop: two elderly people in the district should be victims of telephone frauds again.
But they were vigilant
District of Ebersberg - As the Ebersberg police only now announced, two telephone fraud attempts were reported to her about a week ago, which occurred around noon.
84-year-old Ebersberger is not falling into the trap
In one case, an 84-year-old Ebersberger woman was called by a man posing as her grandson.
Allegedly he had an accident and would need 30,000 euros as soon as possible.
Later he would have been satisfied with 15,000 euros and asked about the financial possibilities of the alleged victim.
The skeptical woman was able to quickly find out through inquiries within her family that none of her grandchildren were in such financial difficulties.
Classic variant for 74-year-old pensioners
The classic variant was served to a 74-year-old pensioner from Egmating.
An alleged detective from Munich told the story of the gang of burglars in the neighborhood.
Allegedly this gang would have been arrested and had a slip of paper with the address of the injured party with them.
The fraudster asked about valuables and whether the victim had a safe or a locker.
When all of this was denied, the perpetrator hung up.
Police Chief: Be careful!
Police chief Ulrich Milius: “These cases show that attempts are still being made - mainly older people - to be ripped off by fraudulent calls. Remain cautious when asked about money and valuables on the phone and do not give anything valuable to strangers. If you are unsure, contact someone you trust or the police. "
