In the past few days, so-called shock calls have increased
for citizens in the area of the Freiburg Police Headquarters. Several calls have now also been made from the Lörrach district. In none of these cases was an act completed.
The procedure of the unknown perpetrators on the phone is extremely perfidious: the callers pretend to be doctors of a hospital on the phone. For example, they say that a close relative (son, daughter, grandchild, etc.) is seriously ill with Corona and urgently needs expensive medication. Another costly variant of fraud is the transfer of an allegedly ill relative by rescue helicopter to a special clinic.
