Beware, fraudster approaching!

In the quiet residential area of Saganer Straße, Detmold, residents have been receiving suspicious letters demanding immediate payment of 35 euros for additional waste services. However, it's important to note that these letters are a scam and not an official communication from the city portal.

According to the city administration of Detmold, the letters have been illegally written using the city's name, attempting to deceive residents into transferring money. The city portal has not issued any official communication regarding additional waste service charges and the supposed account for the transfer is not the actual account of the city portal.

The city portal is currently investigating these fraudulent letters legally, with a commitment to hold the perpetrator accountable. Residents are advised to be cautious and vigilant, and to verify the authenticity of any correspondence before making any payments.

It's essential to remember that the city portal would never demand payment through such unofficial channels. If you have received a suspicious letter, it's recommended to contact the city portal directly for clarification.

The city administration urges residents to spread the word about this scam to protect their neighbours and the community. By staying informed and vigilant, we can help prevent such incidents from causing harm.

As the investigation continues, the city portal will keep the public updated on any developments regarding this fraudulent activity. In the meantime, residents of Saganer Straße are encouraged to remain cautious and to report any suspicious correspondence to the authorities.
