Regional court: Fraudsters in Landau are said to have defrauded bank customers

In Landau, a man is standing before the regional court who is said to have ripped off bank customers as a member of a criminal network. It involves damage of more than 43,000 euros due to so-called call ID spoofing.

The 34-year-old from Landau is said to have been active as a middleman in the criminal network four years ago. The fraudsters posed as employees of banks and savings banks on the phone. They told their victims that there were problems with online banking and that they needed the customers’ access data for a test transfer – all from a call center in Kosovo.

Victims brought a total of 43,000 euros

This data was used to transfer the criminal money from the victims’ accounts to other accounts. The defendant’s role is supposed to be to find people who make their accounts available for this fraud. He is said to have collected the money from them and passed it on. These are amounts of 9,000, 2,000, 15,000 and 17,000 euros. The 34-year-old man is therefore charged with money laundering before the Landau regional court.
