Fake Police Officers on the Phone Line in Segeberg: Police Issue Another Warning About Fraudulent Calls
In the past week, the Police Directorate Bad Segeberg has reported an increase in "shock calls" by impersonators claiming to be police officers within the city limits. On August 14, 2025, nine attempted fraud cases have been reported, where the perpetrators claimed on the phone that there had been break-ins in the area and that valuables needed to be secured from the houses.
The police are warning again and explicitly about fraudulent calls, urging citizens to be vigilant. The "real" investigating authorities will never ask for any valuables or demand money or valuable items over the phone.
If you find yourself in such a situation, the Police Directorate Bad Segeberg advises citizens to react correctly and not engage in the conversation. Instead, they should contact the local police and file a criminal complaint for attempted fraud.
Citizens can contact the Prevention Department of the Police Directorate Bad Segeberg for advice if they are unsure how to deal with such fraud attempts. The contact numbers for the Prevention Department are Bad Segeberg 04551-884-2140 and Pinneberg 04101-202-0.

Additionally, valuable safety tips for seniors can be found on the Prevention section of the Schleswig-Holstein Police's homepage.
The Criminal Police in Bad Segeberg are actively investigating these cases, but the mastermind behind the attempted fraud cases is not explicitly named in the available information. It appears that this may be a coordinated scam effort without specific identification of a single leader.
The Police Crime Prevention of the Federal States and the Federal Government also provides safety tips for seniors regarding fraud at https://www.polizei-beratung.de/themen-und-tipps/betrug/enkeltrick.
