When it comes to their own child, parents want to protect them immediately – no matter how old the child or they are. The protective instincts of a 95-year-old woman from Villach immediately kicked into action when she received a call from what must have been a police officer on Friday.
“Your daughter caused a fatal traffic accident and was taken into custody!” These words immediately dispel the distrust and caution in the 95-year-old’s mind on Friday around 4 p.m. However, by paying an immediate “bail” the daughter could be released immediately.
The victim was not allowed to end the phone call
To ensure that she does not have time to think, the fraudster does not let the Villach woman hang up – the conversation must be recorded for an alleged lawsuit. “The lady drove to her bank with a friend and withdrew tens of thousands of euros,” the police explain. Neither the acquaintance nor the bank employee seems to distrust the process – the lady herself is in the clutches of the fraudster.
After the bank we go straight to Ossiacher Zeile – a messenger waits there, to whom the 95-year-old gives the money and extra gold jewelry to buy her daughter’s freedom. Only when the ghost has passed and the fraudster is no longer manipulating the lady via the telephone, will realization follow and the route to the police will follow.
