Mörfelden-Walldorf (dpa / lhe) – A bank employee prevented a scam in Mörfelden-Walldorf. A 79-year-old woman wanted to have an amount of 50,000 euros paid out to her, the police said on Friday. The senior had previously received a dubious call from a supposed prosecutor. It alleged that the woman’s granddaughter caused a fatal accident. In order to be able to avert a prison sentence, the woman had to pay bail of 50,000 euros.
The woman then went to the bank in the Groß-Gerau district on Thursday and asked for the amount to be paid out, it said. The bank employee became suspicious and uncovered the fraud.
