News against fraud: Appointments in the hairdressing salon warn seniors!

In the fight against fraudsters, the district police authority Borken launched an innovative campaign: fraud warnings on special appointments in hairdressing salons! These striking notes warn of the dreaded "grandchildren trick" and are now being distributed during visits to hairdressers. On Thursday, June 5th, 2025, the initiative was presented with representatives of the police, craft and sponsors in Ahaus.

The hairdressing guilds in the Borken district are enthusiastic and actively participate. Jens Huchthausen, managing director of the district craftsmanship, emphasized the importance of the campaign: "We want to provide all the affiliated companies with this information." The hairdressing champions Sabine Etzrodt-Clermont and Claudia Rouel also confirm that fraud stitches are often a topic of conversation-with an employee witnessed a call of a supposed police officer who unsettled a senior woman. Experts advise to agree a family password to secure themselves against fraudsters.
