Danger! Shock calls spread fear in the Bautzen district!

Bautzen, Deutschland - In the past few days, worrying news from the Bautzen district, especially from the cities of Hoyerswerda and Kamenz. A wave of so -called shock calls is spreading, with fraudsters acting that pretend to be police officers or relatives. According to the reports of Sächsische.de and police.sachsen.de report on alleged accidents of relatives. It is often stated that someone would have involved in a fatal accident and urgently required deposits of 5,000 to 130,000 euros.

The perpetrators use different previews to unsettle and push their victims. As the Federal Criminal Police Office warned in a notification in 2023, this should lead to the fact that the called people are sweating and handed over high sums without thinking. BKA urgently advises to end such calls immediately and never hand over cash or valuables to strangers.

police action and prevention

The police have urged the citizens: on the inside of being vigilant. "Ending suspicious calls immediately" is a warning that is often heard. In addition, the police make it clear that they never ask for cash by phone. Rather, every contact that exerts financial pressure should be reported immediately.

Another important detail here is the strategy of the fraudsters: they put their victims under pressure by often causing a “deposit” to be paid in order to avert the worse consequences of a supposed accident. The police recommend contacting relatives via known telephone numbers to check the authenticity of the respective situation.
