A 94-year-old woman from Germany fell victim to an ingenious scam, in which two men posed as police officers. They convinced her that she was on the list of Romanian thieves and, under the pretext of an urgent investigation, made her throw her savings out the window to "put them in safety." This case is not isolated, as German authorities have reported several similar attempts, particularly targeting elderly individuals.
In another incident, a 68-year-old woman from Bremen was deceived through a similar scheme, being advised to leave a valuable watch in front of her door for protection. The police in Bremen have launched investigations in both cases and issued a warning that they never request money or jewelry over the phone. Authorities urge citizens to be vigilant and not to provide financial information to prevent such scams.
