Shock call in Kiel: 84-year-old transfers high amounts of money to fraudsters!

Kiel, Deutschland - On May 27, 2025, an 84-year-old woman in Kiel became the victim of a perfidious shock call and transferred a high five-digit amount to a foreign bank account. The fraudster, who pretended to be a police officer, pretended that the senior daughter was involved in a fatal traffic accident and urgently needed a deposit. The woman acted under massive pressure and for fear of her daughter and carried out the transfer.

The police have now started investigations into gang and commercial fraud. The authorities again warn of the danger of such calls and give tips on how to protect yourself: real police officers do not ask for any money on the phone, and contact should always be contacted directly with the police instead of giving the caller in detail. Distrust is the order of the day, especially if supposed relatives demand money for urgently needed purchases. The police advise you to end talks immediately and choose number 110 independently.
