District of Fürstenfeldbruck - In the past few days, scammers have brazenly exploited the willingness of Christmas market visitors in the Fürstenfeldbruck area to donate.

In front of a current issue of a street newspaper published by a Munich association, the women pretended to collect donations for a soup kitchen.

In order to make the scam appear even more believable, a kind of donation list was also kept on which bona fide sponsors could register.

The women are not sellers of the street newspaper mentioned and therefore do not collect for a charitable purpose.

The soup kitchen mentioned does not exist either.

All in all, the fraudsters have been known to have appeared in four cases at the Christmas markets in Fürstenfeldbruck, Eichenau and Olching.

A meaningful personal description of the perpetrators has not yet been found.

Police recommend healthy distrust

In this context, the police recommend a healthy distrust of alleged fundraisers.

People who support a charitable project by selling newspapers, for example, will always be able to identify themselves with a sales ID.

If you make any suspicious observations, do not hesitate to speak to local police and security officers.

You can also call the emergency number 110.
