Fraud in Bad Zwischenahn: Frau falls in shock call!

in Bad Zwischenahn there was a tragic incident that once again shows how perfidious phone fraudsters are. Despite a current warning from the police, a woman fell victim to a so -called shock call. This happened on July 17, 2025, and the circumstances are terrifying: an alleged police officer informed the woman that her daughter was involved in a serious traffic accident.

The fraudsters did not allow time to pass and called for a high amount of money or valuables to avert alleged legal consequences. Under the pressure of urgency, the woman handed over cash and jewelry to an unknown man who later disappeared into Peterstrasse. According to the witness description, the pick-up was about 1.85 meters tall, slim and wore a white t-shirt, long trousers and a red cap. The Police Inspection Oldenburg asks for information on the phone number (04403) 927 115.

Such shock calls are not isolated cases. The fraudsters often spend relatives or police officers in order to emotionally put the victims under pressure. The goal is always the same: to gain money or valuables from the people addressed. For example, a serious traffic accident is often reported, which requires immediate financial aid to pay for an operation. In other variants, it is even said that a relative has committed a crime, and a deposit is required to avoid detention. The victims often have little time to deal with the situation before they recognize the fraud. This shows how important it is to be attentive and not get into the catches of the fraudsters. At the [Police Consultation] (https://www.polizei-beratung.de/aktuelles/detailsicht/ Telefonbetlug- Derk-schockanruf/), helpful tips can also be found.

The police warn: If uncertainty, it is advisable to press number 110 and never use the recall button. You should put on when you feel under pressure and contact relatives under the known number. Personal information has lost nothing on the phone - this is how to avoid unwanted damage.
