Fraud warning! False police officers can accumulate 25,000 euros from senior!

Lately, the Neckar-Odenwald district has had some worrying incidents that have affected older people in particular. The police give signs of fraud by false police officers and other crimes that are becoming more and more sophisticated.

On June 6, 2025, an 81-year-old man in Binau was the victim of a sophisticated fraud. An unknown caller pretended to be a police officer and informed the elderly about burglaries in the neighborhood. He offered his help and wanted to bring gifts and valuables to safety.

The police warn against reacting to such calls and calls for skepticism to unknown callers, as this are common fraud stitches, such as the state police Niedersachsen explained.

fraud on the elderly becomes a habit

The fraudsters repeatedly take advantage of the good faith of older people by pretending to be trustworthy people. As a chief commissioner Neumann reports, the callers speak German fluently and adapt their dialect to appear more credible. You specifically ask for information about valuables, bank details and cash. A temporal pressure is often created to move the seniors to hand over money.

Experts recommend requesting the name and office of the caller and independently contacting the police to ensure.

In addition to direct cheating, there were also reports on trick thefts. On Wednesday, an 82-year-old man in Mosbach was addressed by a woman who collected money for an alleged circus. While he gave the woman cash, a male accomplice took the opportunity to penetrate the senior's house and to steal a envelope with a high four -digit cash amount. The perpetrators often have a detailed approach and systematically carry out their stitches.

The perpetrator and his accompaniment were both between the ages of 70 and 80 and had a Mediterranean appearance. Here, too, witnesses were asked to contact the police.
