Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - Fraudsters tried to swindle cash and valuables in Wiesbaden as fake police officers. In the case of several calls on Saturday in the city area, an alleged detective reported and reported alleged burglaries in the neighborhood and caught perpetrators, the police said on Sunday. The scammers claimed that the property of the person called was now in danger. But they didn't allow themselves to be fooled, at least when it came to the known attempts at fraud, they hung up and informed the real officials.
Since there were several calls, the police warned again: "Real police officers do not ask about financial circumstances on the phone. Be absolutely sensitive when someone pretends to be a police officer to you. Reply to the caller that you want to check his information. If in doubt end the call and contact the correct police on emergency number 110."
