Excessive! There are fraudsters in the Pielachtal in Lower Austria, mainly begging elderly people for donations for flood victims…
District Captain Josef Kronister, himself a devoted follower of Henry Dunant for many years, immediately informed the management after alert residents of Pielachtal raised the alarm. According to this information, there were fraudsters who gave the impression of being from the Red Cross or another aid organization, especially in Obergravendorf, but also in Weinburg. Their victims are often older citizens whose good faith and therefore their willingness to donate are shamelessly exploited. Rumor has it that the fake collector even boldly showed up in a paramedic’s uniform.
The police are tightening controls
“The Red Cross does not accept cash,” the top official of the central district in the vast country states unequivocally. His urgent appeal: If anyone appears at the door or anywhere else, call the police immediately. The law enforcement officers at all posts in the region are also instructed to patrol sensitive areas accordingly!
“Helpers” demand money for creation
There is also great outrage at foreign ‘shovel crews’ demanding money in the Strombad settlement of Kritzendorf near Klosterneuburg and even outraged that Caritas is helping for free with an entire army of Syrian volunteers.
