Overview
- Police in Nordhessen confirmed a sophisticated bank-employee impostor scheme in Vellmar targeting a senior couple.
- A male caller around 10:00 claimed suspicious account activity and elicited the PINs for two EC cards.
- Minutes later a man came to the door, showed a business card, and collected the cards between 10:05 and 10:35.
- The victims grew suspicious after the call ended abruptly, blocked both cards, and reported the incident, resulting in no losses.
- Investigators released a description—30 to 40 years old, about 1.70 meters tall, slim, speaking High German, in a black jacket and black beret with a green scarf—and asked witnesses to call 0561 9100 at Polizeipräsidium Nordhessen.
