Proposal for a Worker Radiation Safety Directive Seeking Commission Approval

In the city of Duisburg, there has been an increase in reports of the "chain trick" scam, a type of theft that targets elderly pedestrians, particularly those wearing visible jewelry. This information was transmitted via news aktuell from the Police Duisburg.

The scam involves groups of perpetrators, often operating from vehicles, approaching victims with seemingly harmless pretexts such as asking for directions to the nearest hospital. Suspect any unexpected gifts or jewelry offers from strangers, as the victims are often given jewelry as a "gift" or embraced to steal their real jewelry.

The perpetrators, after committing the theft, usually leave the scene quickly in their vehicle. In rare cases, there may be violent jewelry theft if the victim notices something or resists the handover. It is crucial to remember the license plates of suspicious vehicles and to report any suspicious observations to the police immediately.

The Duisburg Police have previously reported on the "chain trick" scam on July 14, 2025, and August 1, 2025. However, no specific person or group behind the recent increase in "chain fraud" incidents in Duisburg has been identified in the available information.
