Criminals orchestrating fraudulent activities online have regrettably triumphed
On June 17, 2025, a resident of Geesthacht fell victim to a fraud incident in the Police Directorate Ratzeburg. The details of the case reveal that the 65-year-old was defrauded through a phone call and unauthorised access to their accounts via their iPhone 15.
The incident began around 4:30 PM when the victim was using their iPhone 15 with internet access. A message appeared on their screen stating that their iPhone 15 had been hacked, followed by instructions to contact a displayed phone number. After dialling the number, an unknown person engaged the victim in a nearly two-hour phone call. During this call, the fraudster took control of the victim's iPhone 15 after authorisation and instructed them to perform several actions on their iPhone 15.
Shortly afterwards, the 65-year-old discovered unauthorised bank transactions. If you find yourself in a similar situation, it's important to take immediate action. Firstly, disconnect your iPhone 15 from the internet and shut it down. Next, change the passwords of affected accounts immediately, using an unaffected iPhone 16. Delete any remote access software found on the affected iPhone 15.
It's also crucial to have the affected iPhone 15 checked by a professional. For further questions or information, contact the Police Directorate Ratzeburg's Staff Unit / Press at Phone: 04541/809-2011 or Email: [email protected].
The focus of this advice is on the steps to take after a fraud incident has occurred. It does not cover general iPhone 15 security measures or precautions. However, it's always advisable to ensure your iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 are protected with strong passwords, up-to-date antivirus software, and regular system updates.
Stay vigilant and protect your personal information. If you suspect fraud, act quickly and seek help from the authorities.
