Daughter trick

Automatically saved draft

Unscrupulous criminals shamelessly exploit the helpfulness of a pensioner (93) from the district of Klagenfurt and swindle several thousand euros worth of gold coins and jewelry.

The pensioner's phone rang in the early afternoon: a woman claiming to be a civil servant gave the 93-year-old a shocking message: her daughter had caused a serious traffic accident - and was now in custody as a result. The woman who allegedly caused the accident was only allowed to leave the cell on bail.

The elderly victim was worried about her daughter - and desperate, because she didn't have that much cash at home. But according to the alleged officer, this was not a problem, they would also accept valuables as a "deposit". And so the pensioner "scraped" all her jewelry together and put it in a bag along with her collection of gold coins.

Perpetrator sped off with the loot
It took less than half an hour before the victim's front doorbell rang. When the 93-year-old opened the door, an unknown criminal grabbed the valuable bag, jumped into his car and sped off. The pensioner suffered a total loss of several thousand euros. The investigation is also in full swing.
