Osnabrück taxi driver saves elderly woman from 'shock call' scam – honored at Bellevue Palace
The incident began with a phone call to Yasman. An elderly woman from Bohmte ordered a taxi to the savings bank in Osnabrück. Even that struck him as odd.
"The voice sounded nervous, and the fact that she was intent on going to Osnabrück, even though there is a savings bank in Bohmte, stood out," he told NDR Lower Saxony.
Suspicion in the taxi
His driver Açıl also noticed the situation when he seated the customer in the car. The woman spoke of a large amount of cash, more than 10,000 euros. Açıl asked cautiously, but did not want to seem too intrusive. Finally, he pointed out to her that older people repeatedly become targets of fraud schemes.
The pensioner responded dismissively: "No, that can't be true," she said, the driver recalls.
Police called in
While the woman was withdrawing cash at the bank, Açıl called the police. The suspicion was confirmed: fraudsters had told the pensioner that her daughter had caused a fatal accident and could only be released upon payment of a large bail. Only meeting her unharmed daughter made her realize that she had almost fallen victim to a so‑called shock-call scam.
Honored in Berlin
For their efforts, Yasman and Açıl have now been invited to Berlin. At the initiative of CDU member of the Bundestag Mathias Middelberg, they will first visit the Bundestag. Afterwards, they will attend Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s citizens’ festival. There, it is customary to honor people who stand out for their civic courage or volunteer work.
