Danger! Wrong police officers on the phone: How to protect yourself!

in Kiel, Lütjenburg and Danishhagen, the danger has increased again by false police officers! The police urgently warn of so -called shock calls, in which called people are panicked. The fraudsters pretend to provide information about burglaries in the neighborhood and call for “securing” valuables and cash.

Another perfidious game is supposed competitions in which the victims are asked to pay a fee in order to obtain the profit. The police make it clear: they never demand cash for security check or relatives in prison! The fraudsters can act highly professional in long phone calls and put the called people under pressure by threatening legal consequences if the conversation is made public.

The police urgently advise you to end the conversation immediately for such calls and to choose 110 independently. Be vigilant when "relatives" need money or promise profits - often none of it is true! For further safety tips and prevention, visit the website of the Schleswig-Holstein State Police.
