German police reported that a group of fraudsters managed to deceive an elderly woman in Germany and obtain from her 300 thousand euros.
A police spokesman said Friday in Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state, that the 86-year-old woman was the victim of a so-called “shock call stunt”.
According to the data, a person called the woman the day before Wednesday, pretending to be her son, and told her that he had caused a serious accident and was in dire need of money to settle the damages, explaining to her that he would not be able to come himself to take the money and that he would send a lawyer friend to her to receive the money from her.
The police stated that this man came to the woman in her house and took the money, while the woman did not discover the fraud until after she called her real son later.
