Fraud at the front door
How do I protect myself from fraudsters and thieves at home?
Ralf Schäfer

The scammers basically only use a few tricks, but in ever new variations!

 

The perpetrator wants to use the toilet or drink water, pretends to be a tradesman, an employee of the public utility company or an official.

Whether man or woman, everyone just wants to be alone with you in your home. While you are being distracted, they are looking for cash, jewelry or valuables.

  • Never let strangers into your home!
  • Always open the door with the locking bolt in place!
  • Don't sign!
  • Be forceful, speak up or call for help!
  • If you see such people, call the police immediately on 110!
