In the quiet town of Salzgitter, an incident occurred on August 18, 2025, that serves as a reminder for residents to stay vigilant against scams. At 18:15 hours, an elderly woman living on Osterlinder Straße received an unexpected call. The unknown caller claimed that her daughter was involved in an accident and needed bail money to avoid jail time.
The Salzgitter Police have identified this as a "shock call," a type of scam where elderly people are intimidated over the phone. The identity of the suspect remains undisclosed, and the incident is currently under investigation.
The Police advise residents to be wary of such conversations, especially those involving close relatives and accidents. It is crucial not to fall for scams that ask about valuables or cash amounts over the phone. The police urge residents to discuss such calls with their relatives but not to hand over cash to strangers based on such a call.
In this particular incident, the elderly woman offered valuable items instead of cash, but no financial loss occurred as the call ended early. The police commend the woman's actions and encourage others to report such incidents to them immediately.
