Baden-Württemberg: Fraudsters take the elderly woman by more than a hundred thousand euros

Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - tricksters fooled a Stuttgart woman into inheriting millions - and took more than a hundred thousand euros from her. As the police announced on Tuesday, the unknown perpetrators contacted the 67-year-old last year via a social media platform. They made her believe that she would inherit 5.5 million euros after a relative's alleged fatal traffic accident in Ghana. Before that, she was supposed to pay alleged fees in order to be able to accept the inheritance. After the woman made several transfers to foreign accounts by August, but did not receive any inheritance, she filed a complaint.
