Warning Issued by Police About Fraudulent Bank Employees

Warning Issued by Police About Fraudulent Bank Employees - #polsiwarning

In the bustling city of Siegen, residents have been alerted to a series of suspicious incidents involving individuals posing as bank collectors. According to the Siegen Criminal Police (KK 2), these incidents occurred at two locations: Glaeserstraße and Stockweg.

On December 3, 2022, the Circular Police Authority Siegen-Wittgenstein issued a warning about these fake bank employees, who have already made several attempts this morning. The scammers claim there's been a wrong debit and need the EC card from unsuspecting victims.

One instance of such a scam occurred where money was withdrawn from an ATM after a supposed bank employee appeared as a collector. The police advise never giving your EC card and PIN to a stranger under any circumstances.

The perpetrators from the collectors have not provided a useful description so far, but it is known that they are male. The search results do not provide information about who presented themselves as a collector at the two mentioned streets on the morning of December 3, 2022. Further details about the collectors are not yet known.

The Siegen Criminal Police are actively investigating these incidents and are seeking the public's help. Anyone who has observed anything suspicious (people, vehicles) in Glaeserstraße and Stockweg this morning is asked to contact the Siegen Criminal Police (KK 2) at 0271 / 7099 - 0.

For further questions, the Press and Public Relations department of the Circular Police Authority Siegen-Wittgenstein is available. They can be reached at telephone 0271 - 7099 1222, via email at [email protected], or through their website at https://siegen-wittgenstein.polizei.nrw/.

If you receive a fraudulent call, the police advise hanging up immediately and informing them. Stay vigilant, Siegen citizens, and keep your personal information secure.
