Fraud on the phone: Criminals disguise themselves as a police in Ludwigshafen!

Ludwigshafen, Deutschland - On June 6, 2025, an outrageous case of call center fraud was revealed in Ludwigshafen! Unknown perpetrators, who spoke as police officers, made an unsuspecting woman handed over to several thousand euros to a supposed messenger. The deception began with the terrible news of an alleged traffic accident of a nearby family. In order to save his fictional life, a payment was requested by the injured person.

In her shock and the confusion, the woman agreed to the transfer of money and the handover of valuables, including jewelry. A messenger appeared shortly afterwards at her door and received the valuable things. The perpetrators gave her the instructions to wait at least 20 minutes before contacting someone. The terrible fraud was only recognized later when she actually spoke to her relative.
