On September 2, 2025, the police departments in Lübeck, Stockelsdorf, and Bad Schwartau have reported an unusual surge in shock calls. These calls involve false officials demanding ransoms ranging from 30,000 to 70,000 euros, claiming to be dealing with severe car accidents involving relatives.
Since 12:00 noon on September 2, five attempted fraud cases involving shock calls have been reported in these areas. However, no completed crimes have been registered as a result of these calls.

The reported shock calls describe serious traffic accidents involving relatives, but no further details about the identity of the false officials or the victims of the traffic accident have been provided. It is suspected that there may be many more unreported cases of shock calls in these areas.
