Bank employee's vigilance thwarts potential banking scam
In a recent development, the Dortmund Police have arrested a 42-year-old suspect from Oer-Erkenschwick in connection with a fraud attempt that took place in the Lünen neighbourhood of Dortmund on July 1, 2025.
The fraudster, posing as a detective, contacted an 88-year-old woman at 10:30 AM and claimed that burglars were active in the area. The scammer put increasing pressure on the elderly woman, requesting around 20,000 euros for the supposed arrest of the burglars.
Fortunately, the fraud attempt was thwarted. A 47-year-old employee from Bergkamen noticed the suspicious activity at the bank and alerted the authorities. The suspect was arrested by civilian officers at 6 PM the same day.
The suspect is now facing criminal charges for fraud. The police took the suspect into custody in connection with the fraud attempt, and the case number for this incident is 0574.
The Dortmund Police repeatedly warn against fraud schemes and urge the public to be vigilant. For any questions or queries, journalists can contact Annika Roß at Dortmund Police. Her contact information is as follows: Phone: 0231/132-1033, Email: [email protected].
