1460. Organized call center fraud; fake bank employee – Ludwigsvorstadt
On Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at around 10:00 a.m., an 80-year-old woman residing in Munich received a call from an alleged employee of a credit institution. The caller informed the 80-year-old woman about an allegedly fraudulent withdrawal of money from her checking account.
According to the caller, there had been a number of false debits in the past, which is why the 80-year-old woman was asked to withdraw money from her account for security reasons. The 80-year-old woman complied with the request and withdrew cash worth several thousand euros from her checking account.
After the 80-year-old returned home, she received another call from the alleged employee of the credit institution. He informed the 80-year-old that he was already in contact with the police because she had been followed on her way home and the police wanted to catch the perpetrator red-handed. The 80-year-old then deposited several thousand euros in cash in an envelope in front of her front door. Shortly afterwards, the envelope was picked up by an as yet unknown perpetrator.
After the 80-year-old woman inquired at the police station responsible for her place of residence whether the perpetrator had already been arrested, she noticed the fraud.
Further investigations in this case are being conducted by Department 61 (call center fraud) of the Munich Criminal Police.

Warning from the Munich police:
On the phone, fraudsters repeatedly try to persuade their victims, using various pretexts, to hand over money and valuables in their home or at the bank to an unknown person who also claims to be a police officer. The fraudsters claim, for example, that money and valuables in their victims’ homes or at the bank are no longer safe or that they need to be checked for traces. The perpetrators use a special technique that causes the police emergency number 110 or another local telephone number to appear on the recipient’s phone display when they call.
Please note in particular:
• The police will never ask you for money.
• Do not disclose any details about your financial situation over the phone.
• Don’t let anyone pressure you on the phone. Just hang up.
