Caution! Fraudsters at the subway outcome in Munich exposed!

München, Deutschland - In Berlin there are current reports on a dangerous new fraud stitch that affects travelers and residents. As reported [berlin live] (https://www.berlin-live.de/berlin/brennpunkt/berlin-betrueger-bank-strasse-stoffe-anlegen-offe-schich-schein- ID348516.HTML), a Reddit user wrote about his experience with a fraudster who has withdrawn him in Munich. The incident occurred on January 7 at around 7 p.m. at the Marienplatz subway.

The fraudster introduced himself as a "Josh from UK" and claimed that his bank card had been collected by a savings ban on the sparkasse. In order to help himself in this desperate situation, the perpetrator asked the passers -by to withdraw money for him, and promised to transfer the money later. In order to underpin his credibility, he showed the victims a fake bank app and even had a photo of it. In reality, the promised transfers were never carried out, and the specified account does not exist.

The reactions in the community

The Reddit user warned other Berliners in a corresponding group of this scam. The reactions were mostly positive, with many users thanked for the warning. This type of rip -off shows that fraudsters always come up with new methods to deceive unsuspecting people.

according to [Berliner Rundfunk] (https://www.berliner-rundfunk.de/programm/leben-in-berlin-und-brandenburg/betrugsmasmischen-die-niemals extinction) such fraud stitches are not new, but can occur in different variations. Fake reviews are also a common phenomenon in the digital world, especially in the digital world. Customers tend to make purchase or booking decisions based on these reviews, which offers dubious agencies opportunity to earn money with fake reviews. The Stiftung Warentest therefore recommends that you not only rely on these reviews and also carry out independent image searches.
