Neuenkirchen – Vörden – Fraudulent text messages about alleged parcel deliveries
On Monday, March 22nd, 2021, there was fraud in the Neuenkirchen-Vorden area. A 26-year-old woman received a text message on her mobile phone stating that a parcel was about to be delivered. After clicking on the link, several applications were installed on the mobile phone, which in turn sent SMS messages. Currently this type of fraud can be observed in Cloppenburg and Vechta Counties. Police advise against clicking on these links. The message must be deleted from the device. Do not allow the installation of unknown applications. It is also recommended that your carrier set up a third-party block so that additional costs can be avoided. If you click on the link anyway, it is recommended to switch the device to airplane mode so that the mobile phone cannot receive any external commands anymore. Then the device must be reset to factory settings so that harmful apps will be removed. If necessary, it is recommended to make a backup copy of the personal data beforehand. You should also verify the logins and passwords for your user accounts.
Cloppenburg and Vechta – Fraudulent calls, descendants scam / shock call
On Thursday, March 25, 2021, there were several fraudulent calls in Cloppenburg and Vechta Counties. The perpetrators told the contacting party that a relative, often a grandson or son / daughter, had an accident and is now in need of a large sum of money. The police always recommend that you consult family members when calling. If in doubt, call the person alleged to be in an emergency situation and verify the information. Often perpetrators try to increase the stress and use the summoned party’s anxiety so that they do not become suspicious. If there is any doubt, the discussions should be ended immediately.
