Fraudsters hit: Münster Senior falls in the wrong policeman

Am Berg Fidel, 48145 Münster, Deutschland - Münster experiences a shocking fraud! On Wednesday evening (May 28th), a senior fell victim to a "wrong police officer" who pretended him on the phone that he was involved in investigation. The fraudster claimed that the senior could be the next goal of a gang of thieves and asked him to deposit cash into a bicycle basket on the street "Am Berg Fidel". Without hesitation, the senior complied with this demand and left his wallet behind the agreed location with cash. Shortly afterwards he saw how a stranger stole the money and fled towards the sports hall Berg Fidel.

The Münster police are now looking for witnesses who can provide information about the fraudsters. Citizens who have observed something can report on the phone number (0251) 275-0. In addition, the police urgently warns of such calls: Always be suspicious when you receive calls from unknown numbers and never hand over money to strangers. The real police never ask for cash. If in doubt, you should choose the emergency call 110!
