Unknown persons receiving cash from a senior-level individual raises concern among law enforcement
In the heart of Oldenburg, a concerning incident unfolded around 4:30 PM last Tuesday. The Oldenburg Police Station / Ammerland has confirmed that an elderly woman was deceived into handing over cash to an unknown person, following a fake call claiming to be from a hospital in Bremen about her daughter needing expensive treatment.
The incident took place on 'Unter den Linden' street, within the jurisdiction of the Oldenburg Police Station. However, despite immediate search measures and efforts, the perpetrator could not be apprehended.
The police are urging the public to be vigilant against such scams. They advise hanging up immediately in suspicious calls, refraining from revealing personal information, and contacting the police via the emergency number 110 if in doubt. Witnesses who may have seen the described man are asked to contact the Oldenburg police under the telephone number 0441/7904115.
Sadly, this incident is not an isolated one. On Tuesday in Oldenburg, several similar "shock calls" were reported. The police warn that perpetrators are posing as relatives, hospital staff, or police officers to fabricate emergencies and obtain money or valuables.
For further inquiries, please contact the Police Station Oldenburg-Stadt / Ammerland Press Office at Jens Rodiek, telephone: 0441/790-4004, email: [email protected].
