In fact, the woman noticed a person dressed in dark clothing in front of her house, wearing a vest with the inscription police. Eventually, the woman placed cash, gold jewelry, and coins worth a mid-five-figure euro amount in front of the front door. When the woman from Rheine visited her local bank a few days later, the bank employee suspected a scam and alerted the police.
In this context, the police once again warn of the scam "Fake police officers": Police officers never ask you to hand over money or valuables - neither at the front door to strangers, nor at a handover location. As soon as demands for money are made over the phone, you can assume that you are dealing with fraudsters! With any demand of this kind: Just hang up! This is the safest way to protect yourself against this type of fraud.
