Bavarian pensioner lays trap to catch phone fraudster who was out for his gold
AI Summary
An 85-year-old Bavarian pensioner twice foiled phone fraudsters attempting to steal his money and valuables. In the most recent incident, the pensioner received a call from someone posing as a police officer claiming a family member needed bail money. Suspecting a scam, he played along while his daughter alerted the Ingolstadt police, leading to the arrest of a 20-year-old suspect. This was the second successful trap; a similar incident occurred last September, resulting in another arrest. The scams involved fabricated emergencies requiring cash for bail or urgent medication. Police warn the public, especially the elderly, to be wary of such calls and to avoid sharing personal information.
