Ulm: A striking city in Germany - Senior Citizen Thwarts Fraud Attempt over Phone Call
A stranger reportedly approached someone and claimed his cell phone was broken, requesting them to save his new number. The 74-year-old man, however, recognized the scam and refused to comply. He filed a report with the police in Ehingen (phone number: 07391/5880) and authorities are currently investigating the matter.
The police are also cautioning against similar scams through messaging services and advise exercising caution with unknown senders, especially when they demand payment. It's crucial not to be pressured, ask questions of the sender, and never transfer money or give away valuable items to strangers. Avoid sharing personal information as well; in doubtful situations, it's best to contact the police by dialing 110.
The authorities have published a brochure titled "Caution, Offense!" offering more protection advice. This resource is available at your local police station or online at www.polizei-beratung.de.
