Worms- Faked Transfer- Scammer Makes Off with 500 Euros in Cash

An amount of 2000 euros was agreed upon, which the perpetrator then claimed to transfer immediately via online banking in British pounds. As proof, the man showed a supposed transfer slip along with the payment process on his mobile phone.

However, since the amount was not yet visible in the 26-year-old's account, he initially handed over "only" 500 euros in cash to the man.

The agreed remaining amount was then to be handed over in the evening at a meeting in a local restaurant, after the money had been received. However, neither the unknown man appeared for this, nor was there actually a money receipt in the 26-year-old's account.

The perpetrator was wearing blue jeans and a dark coat at the time of the crime.

Anyone who can provide relevant information on the case mentioned is asked to contact the Worms Police Inspection at the telephone number 06241 852-0. Tips can also be sent to the police by email at piworms@polizei.rlp.de.
