Police in Germany are warning residents after two separate phone scams targeted older people in the region. In Pfullingen, a senior woman handed over cash and jewelry to two alleged “police officers” after a caller claimed that break-ins had occurred in her neighborhood. The scheme involved a fabricated story that the valuables were at risk of theft. In Notzingen, an older man received a call from a person posing as a doctor. The scammer claimed his daughter was in a hospital emergency and that only a special, expensive medicine could save her. The victim was instructed to make an advance payment, and later a supposed courier showed up and received cash and valuables. Authorities urge anyone who is asked on the phone to hand over money or valuables to end the call immediately. The investigations related to the scams are ongoing.
