A wave of deceit is sweeping through Plau am See, with local police reporting 15 phone scam incidents in just six hours on Monday evening. Targeting vulnerable women over 60, the scammers pose as police officers, spinning tales of break-ins in the neighborhood and asking horrifyingly invasive questions about their cash, gold, and valuables at home. Thankfully, no one has fallen for their trickery yet, as no money or valuables have been handed over.
The authorities are urgently warning the public to hang up immediately on such calls and to never part with cash for strangers. Residents are also reminded not to let unknown individuals into their homes without proper identification. Legitimate officers can always show their police ID or badge at the door. Stay vigilant, Plau am See!
