Fraud Alert: Police in Celle Warn of Shock Calls
In a recent incident, an elderly woman in Nienhagen OT Nienhorst fell victim to a fraud on Friday, August 29, 2025. The fraud was carried out by an unknown man posing as a doctor who convinced the woman to hand over a five-digit sum of money for an alleged urgent medication for her daughter.
According to the police in Celle, serious institutions do not demand money over the phone. If you receive such a call, it is crucial to remain skeptical. Do not let yourself be pressured during such calls. Fraudsters often use emotional manipulation to force quick decisions.
The police are warning about "shock calls" and urging skepticism towards calls from people claiming to be officials demanding money. They are asking for everyone's help in this matter. If you have any information regarding this incident or similar incidents, please contact the police station in Celle.
The suspect in this case is described as a young man, approximately 160-165 cm tall, 18-20 years old, slim build, dark hair, dressed entirely in black. He was last seen walking away in an easterly direction and getting into a presumably gray car near the forest path.
The police are looking for witnesses and ask them to contact the station under the telephone number 05141-2770. If you have any information about the suspect's identity or whereabouts, please provide it to the authorities.
It is also important to note that serious institutions offer alternative payment methods and do not demand immediate cash payment. Do not transfer money or make payments without verifying the situation first. If something seems wrong or the situation seems strange, trust your instincts and remain skeptical.
The police advise that you should not engage in a conversation with the caller if you suspect a fraud. Instead, note down the name, telephone number, and alleged reachability of the caller, if possible, and then contact the authorities. Do not give out personal information such as account information, addresses, or birthdates over the phone.
In addition, the police suggest talking to relatives, friends, and neighbors about fraud schemes. If you receive a suspicious call, talk to someone you trust about it. Your vigilance can help prevent others from falling victim to such scams.
Remember, if you have doubts about a call or a situation, it is always better to end the conversation and seek advice from the authorities. Your safety and security are of utmost importance.
