Elderly Individual Falsely Defrauded at 63 Years Old
A 63-year-old woman from Erfurt, Thuringia, has become the latest victim of a lottery scam, with the fraudulent activity believed to have taken place in mid-August. The woman was approached with a letter from an alleged lawyer stating high lottery debts in various countries.
Following the instructions received, she transferred over 22,000 euros to foreign accounts. However, it was her bank that noticed the suspicious transactions and alerted her to the potential fraud.
The supposed lawyer suggested "so-called sponsors" to take over the woman's lottery debts, offering her a monthly installment plan that she could not afford. The woman, concerned and confused, filed a police report with the State Police Inspectorate Erfurt.
The fraud is currently under investigation by the State Police Inspectorate Erfurt. Despite extensive searches, the person responsible for leading the investigation has yet to be identified.
The woman's case serves as a stark reminder of the prevalence of such scams and the importance of vigilance when it comes to financial transactions. If you have any information regarding this case, the Thuringian State Police Inspectorate Erfurt Press Office can be contacted at Phone: 0361 5743-2100, Email: [email protected], or through their website: https://polizei.thueringen.de/landespolizeiinspektionen/lpierfurt/
