Heidelberg and Kleinheubach, Miltenberg: Call center scam perpetrators confiscated valuable items - Criminal police are seeking witnesses
In a shocking incident that took place in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, on Friday, fraudsters used a grandparent scam to steal valuables worth a five-figure amount from an elderly woman. The Criminal Police in Würzburg are currently investigating the case and are appealing for information from the public.
The Police Headquarters of Lower Franconia, in an attempt to prevent such incidents, launched the prevention campaign "Leg ´auf!" at the end of 2020. The aim of these campaigns is to inform, sensitize, and provide behavioral tips to older people and their relatives about scams used by criminals, such as "grandparent scams" and "false police officers".
In a bid to make grandparents and older acquaintances aware of these scams, the Police Headquarters of Lower Franconia are relying on the support of young people and students. The campaign "Ich schütze Oma und Opa" started at Lower Franconian schools in July 2022, with the aim of educating the younger generation about these scams and encouraging them to help protect their elders.
