Munich: New scam about Whatsapp – Munich

The stitch is quite new, but is reminiscent of the “grandchild trick”. Except that the crime is committed via Whatsapp or other messenger services. Organized gangs from abroad are probably behind how they get the cell phone numbers of their elderly victims, police experts are still investigating. A 75-year-old from Freimann used the trick to steal around 6,000 euros on Saturday. They contacted him with an unknown, allegedly new phone number via a short message service. The author pretended to be the son of the Munich native and wrote that he could not pay three bills. The 75-year-old made the transfer – and noticed the fraud when he actually called his son on Sunday.
