Overview
- A woman in her 80s in Garching received a call between noon and 3 p.m. from a man posing as a doctor who claimed her son needed surgery.
- Under pressure from the caller, she handed a five-figure amount in cash to an unknown collector at her home.
- Hours after the handover, she realized the fraud and reported it to the police emergency number.
- Kommissariat 61 has taken over the case, and the victim could not provide a description of the person who collected the cash.
- Police are seeking witnesses who noticed anything suspicious in Auweg, Breslauer Straße, Mühlfeldweg, or Umgehungsstraße and remind the public that hospitals and authorities never send couriers or demand cash.
