Police put false Luxtrust employees the craft
Already on the night of Monday to Tuesday, the police arrested two alleged fraudsters in Dudelingen. A police report on Wednesday shows that a patrol in the Avenue Grande-Duchesse Charlotte became aware of the duo because they « suspect ».
The subsequent control revealed several bank cards, which turned out to be the thief through further investigations. The actual owner were stolen under the pretext that suspicious transactions would have been made about his Luxtrust account.

The two suspects had pretended to be a Luxtrust employee and, in addition to the bank cards, had also obtained their victim’s Luxtrust and banking card data. The public prosecutor ordered the arrest of the two suspects.
How do I protect myself from wrong bank employees?
The police point out that reputable administrations, companies or banks never ask to hand over cards to foreigners or to transmit personal data by phone. If you are not sure whether a contact attempt is made, do not be put under pressure and contact the company or bank in question via the usual contact path or channel, e.g. using a contact form or an official email address or telephone number.
For this as well as for other fraud stitches, the police advise the population:
-
Never put pressure on the threat of a fine or an increase in punishment.
-
Always check suspicious messages carefully and show another person in case of doubt.
-
Messages that contain typing errors or have abnormalities in the formulation can indicate fraud.
