Dresden Police Investigate Fraudsters Posing as Unheilig’s Der Graf

A 56-year-old reported a €2,900 loss via voucher codes after extended contact on a social platform.

Overview

  • The victim from Dresden-Strehlen messaged for weeks with accounts claiming to be the Unheilig frontman.
  • The scammers built trust before directing her to buy prepaid top-up cards and provide the codes.
  • A final request shortly before Christmas, justified by an alleged operation, prompted her to question the scheme.
  • She ended contact and reported the case to police on Sunday at about 15:45, according to TAG24.
  • Authorities have an active complaint, with no announced suspects, arrests, or recovered funds.
