Counterfeit money and fraud: Police warn of brazen schemes in Havelland!
Today, July 4th, 2025, there are some worrying developments from Havelland that are keeping the police busy. A search is currently underway for a suspected counterfeit money fraudster who is causing mischief in the region. Reports about various crimes, such as traffic accidents, burglaries and acts of violence, are regularly provided in the live ticker. In such a case, citizens need to react quickly, which is why the police once again point out the emergency numbers: In the event of life-threatening emergencies, people can contact the police emergency number on 110 or the emergency services on 112.

The shocking case of telephone fraud
A particularly explosive incident in the region concerns an 80-year-old woman who lost a six-figure amount of money due to a telephone scam. The fraudulent caller posed as her son and claimed to be involved in a serious traffic accident in which a pregnant woman was injured. The caller intimidated the elderly woman so much that she urgently had to pay bail to get him out of jail. She handed over the money that same day, without knowing that she had been taken in by a fraudster. The police in Brandenburg an der Havel have already started the investigation, which has been taken over by the criminal police. What is certain is that such scams are becoming more and more common and citizens should be vigilant in order not to fall victim to such unscrupulous schemes.
Like regional reporting from RBB24 makes clear, in such cases emotional pressure is often used to gain the trust of the victims. It is important to keep a cool head in such moments and not allow yourself to be led by deception.
The police recommend that you be alert in the event of unexpected calls from alleged family members: ask questions, verify information and, if in doubt, consult other family members. Fraudsters are increasingly relying on people's trust to carry out their schemes. The cycle of distrust and unrest runs right through Havelland and harms not only the victims, but the social structure as a whole.
