Baden-Württemberg: The couple gives tricksters at least 100,000 euros

Künzelsau (dpa / lsw) - tricksters cheated a couple in Künzelsau (Hohenlohekreis) by at least 100,000 euros. Alleged employees of the Munich public prosecutor's office contacted the couple and stated that the daughter was involved in a traffic accident with a fatality, as the investigators announced on Tuesday. The callers claimed that bail in the six-figure range was necessary to avoid imprisonment for the daughter. A police spokesman did not give the exact amount of money when asked. Under the impression of the shock call, the money was then handed over to an unknown person in Stuttgart.
