Two neighbors of the woman on the Knokkel in Andijk talk about the incident on Tuesday afternoon, after they talked about it. “She came to vent her heart with us. She had slept badly and wondered how she could have been so stupid.” They keep the identity of women anonymous.
Just about the entire Monday afternoon the woman was held on the phone, supposedly by someone from Rabobank.
‘Account was looted from Poland’
The neighbor: “She checked that name on the internet and he corresponded to a real staff member of the bank. They called because they supposedly tried from Poland to plunder the bill.” Panic sowing and quickly asking for action is a proven method for criminals.
The Andijkse met the request to increase her day limit and was then held on the line for four hours. “It seemed very familiar to her.”
When the change in the limit increase was implemented after a few hours, she ate a considerable amount. That money was collected around 6 p.m. by a man, an estimated 22 years old. “She thought that was a bit young, so she didn’t trust it then. Afterwards she quickly called the police.”
‘You would do this guests something’
According to the neighbor, the loot was considerable. “Thousands of euros, a serious amount,” he knows. The police also speak of a considerable amount.
The neighbor: “Perhaps it is about an older woman, but certainly not a stupid woman. She was aware of this kind of practices and yet you fall for it. They are so credible in their story.” The neighbor Balt his fist. “You would do something to those guests.”
A Burgernet report was distributed after the scam and the woman reported a declaration. The police cannot say anything about the investigation. They are, however, looking for information or camera images.
