The German pensioner received an urgent call on Tuesday from a man posing as a police officer telling him a family member was in distress a common trick used against elderly people. Immediately smelling a rat, he kept the caller on the line saying he would rush to get 10,000 (8,750) in cash and several gold coins to hand over. While he strung the conman along, his daughter called Ingolstadt police who were able to catch a 20-year-old male suspect at the pickup spot.
