Celebrities are also not immune to the phone before credit card fraud: Carmen Geiss recently had to have this experience. In Dubai, the TV millionaire went to a fake police officer-and, according to her own statements, was lucky in misfortune.
Carmen Geiss acted out of fear
That of all things True crime fan and “file number XY … unresolved” duration gucker Carmen Geiss something happens. In the latest podcast episode of the Geissens, the 59-year-old tells that she was ripped off on the phone: When her cell phone rang one day, she had no evil. But soon she was taught a better one, as she said: “And I go to the phone, and then someone told me that he would be of the police, and I was afraid. What does the police want from me now? Because this is still the topic with these fraudsters, of course I reacted very stupid and then gave them my credit card number.”
The result: The fraudsters lifted 13,000 dirhams – i.e. over 3,200 euros – from their account within an hour. Fortunately, she and husband Robert reacted quickly, says the TV millionaire. Because the fraudsters not only gambled the money, but also completely paralyzed Carmen’s cell phone with a transmitted code. Quickly check the account movements via the app? None. Then Geiss immediately went to the bank and then to the telephone company to have the card locked and unlock the cell phone again.
Carmen Geiss trembled all over the body
Nevertheless, the experience was a drastic experience: “They are so trained on the phone, I was so shocked. I was really done, I was trembling all over the body,” says the 59-year-old in the podcast.
Your urgent appeal in the podcast: “Please, your listener too: Don’t be fooled on the phone!”
