On April 9, 2025, a woman from Schweich became the victim of a shock call to drive her into the emotional and financial ruin. A caller pretended to be her daughter and claimed to have caused a fatal accident. This perfidious fraud, in which the victim is put under enormous pressure, seduces into rash actions and is currently often observed. The police and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) urgently warn of calls that are often orchestrated by several perpetrators.

The call that lasted over two hours was continued by an alleged police officer who demanded high deposits to free the alleged daughter from custody. According to the announcement by the Trier police headquarters, valuables were handed over in the five -digit area at a handover in the street "Im Rosengarten" at around 6.20 p.m. The perpetrators often use emotional blackmail by putting arguments in a wine voice and urgently urging the called to make decisions.

Details of fraud

The pick -up, which received the transfer of money, could be described as follows:

  • about 25 years old
  • 1.70 meters tall
  • dark blonde, short hair
  • reddish chops
  • light brown wool sweater and light brown trousers
  • no beard, no glasses
  • Probably Eastern European language
  • angular head, bright skin type

The BKA published comprehensive advice in a report of May 24, 2023 to protect itself from shock calls. This includes that victims should ignore the callers' requests and put on immediately.
