In Chemnitz in the Yorck area district, a senior citizen received a shocking call. According to police, unknown perpetrators called the 87-year-old woman on Thursday morning. The scammers claimed that a relative had been in a serious car accident in which a child also died.
Believing that bail would prevent her relative from being sent to prison, the pensioner gave an unknown woman a large four-figure sum of money as well as various pieces of jewelry. According to police information, this caused total damage of around 20,000 euros.
