Once again, bogus police officers have stolen money from a retiree with their scam, the Basel-Stadt prosecutor said in a press release. The perpetrators managed to steal more than a quarter of a million Swiss francs. This time the pensioner was repeatedly contacted by a “criminal investigator” because her address had been found on thieves who had recently been arrested. Your assets are no longer safe. The “police” try to protect them.
Victims under massive pressure
As a result, the woman was contacted for several days by the “criminal investigator” and other bogus policemen with numerous phone calls and pressured. He was ordered to buy gold bars and hand them over to the “police.” They also told her that she was not allowed to speak to anyone about it and that she was constantly being watched.
