Wrong officials on the phone: How to protect yourself from fraud!

In the Pinneberg and Segeberg districts, a wave of shock calls is currently raging by false police officers. The cities of Wedel, Halstenbek and Norderstedt are particularly affected. In Wedel, fraudsters tried to output themselves as a police officer on the phone in three cases and warned of alleged burglaries. Fortunately, the late "victims" put on in good time before suffering financial damage.

The police urgently warns of these unscrupulous fraudsters, who often frighten citizens with dangerous detailed knowledge. Their goal is that the unsuspected “victims” provide cash and hand it over to the fraudsters. In order to counteract this, unsettled citizens can contact their local police station or to the prevention center of the Bad Segeberg police department in order to receive valuable information. Older people in particular are advised to be careful with such calls and not be put under pressure. If you are unsure, you should call the 110 immediately.
