In Dachau, telephone scammers have struck again with so-called shock calls.

The rip-off could be prevented at the last minute.

Now the police are investigating.

Dachau – A total of 18 reports of telephone fraudsters were reported to the criminal police in Fürstenfeldbruck on Thursday alone.

While the perpetrators' intentions were usually recognized and they hung up, an act in Dachau could be prevented at the last minute.

While the potential victim was already in the bank after a "shock call" to get the money demanded, a conversation took place with the "real daughter" of the Dachau pensioner, the police said yesterday.

The organized scammers had previously led the pensioner to believe that his daughter had caused a fatal traffic accident and could only be saved from imprisonment by paying the sum of money.

She was able to clarify the facts and unmask the attempted fraud.

The police are investigating.
