Goslar fights against fraud: Police inform seniors from September 12th to 25th!
The police in Goslar have once again sent an important signal and are conducting a prevention campaign for senior citizens from September 12th to 25th, 2025. Under the motto “COURAGE – Strengthen seniors with us not seniors” the campaign aims to educate older people about common scams that are increasingly aimed at their target group. This is reported by the regionalheute.de.
The Goslar police's commitment includes support from volunteer security advisors who provide information at various information stands about tricks such as the grandchild trick, shock calls or fake police officers. Thomas Kirchner, the prevention officer at the Goslar police station, cordially invites all citizens to take part in the information stands in order to better protect themselves and their relatives. The campaign takes place daily between 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at different locations.

This campaign is particularly important because fraudsters target older people to gain their trust and steal money. Various tricks are used, such as the grandchild trick, where fraudsters pose as relatives and ask for money. Shock calls are also becoming more and more popular, in many cases the voice of a relative is imitated in order to carry out emotional blackmail. Here it is important to remain skeptical and not to make impulsive decisions, such as a comprehensive explanation pflegehilfe-senioren.de shows.
The police also point out that you should also be vigilant about alleged promises of profit. Seniors are often asked to pay money to receive a prize. Such offers are usually dubious. In order to stop fraudsters, it is essential that the population is well informed and that visits to homes by unknown people are rejected.
Widespread awareness and willing participation in the campaign can be crucial steps to help the elderly and valuable people in our society. Let's work together to ensure that our seniors are well protected!
