Bavarian dialect is claimed to be the language angels use - Bavarian-speaking Angels Thwart Fraudulent Action by Elderly Individual
In the small town of Bruckberg, district of Landshut, a telephone scam attempt was reported on Tuesday. The victim, an 84-year-old senior, managed to identify the scammer due to their lack of Bavarian dialect, as they spoke Standard German instead.
The scammer posed as an "angel" in distress, claiming that something terrible had happened. However, the nature of the scam or the "terrible thing" that happened was not specified. Fortunately, the call was ended before any money was demanded, and the identity of the scammer remains unknown.
The senior reported the incident to the police, who have taken note of the case. The police are urging the public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious calls to the authorities. They remind everyone that scammers often target the elderly and vulnerable, and it is important to remain cautious and sceptical of unexpected calls, especially those asking for personal or financial information.
As the investigation continues, the police are appealing for any information that may help in identifying the scammer. They urge anyone who may have received a similar call or has information about the incident to come forward and contact the authorities.
In the meantime, the 84-year-old victim is safe and unharmed, and the community is reminded to stay alert and protect themselves and their loved ones from potential scams. The police are committed to doing everything they can to bring the perpetrator to justice and to ensure the safety and security of the community.
