Fraudulent call: Pensioners from Mendorf loses valuable gold bars

Mendorf, Deutschland - in the small town of Mendorf, near Ingolstadt, was a pensioner over 80-year-old pensioner on Friday, July 11th, 2025, victim of a nasty fraud.

As a result, the pensioner was tempted to make several transfers in the middle four -digit range. But that wasn't all! Later a fraudster called again, this time as a false criminal police officer.

around 4:00 p.m. an unknown pick -up came and took the precious gold bars with them! This misterious man is described as lean to slim, about 1.75 m tall, with black hair and in black clothing. He might hold a cell phone in his hand. The Ingolstadt criminal police have started the investigation and asks the population for help: Anyone who made suspicious observations on Friday or has information about strangers or vehicles in Mendorf should immediately report on 0841 / 9343-0!
