Keep your wits about you, confidence thieves are taking advantage of good-natured people.
Luxembourg police have issued a report regarding an increase in attempted scams. "Scammers have vivid imaginations and keep coming up with new tricks," the statement warns.
On Sunday, the Grand Ducal Police warn against a group of individuals who are posing as employees of humanitarian organizations.
These people usually try to get cash donations, or via bank transfer, for which they ask for account information.
Of course, this is a process that real associations use, and one which the scammers will take advantage of.
It is recommended to always ask for ID or proof of good faith from people who organize fundraisers.
If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact 113.
For more information on these scams please contact the police via their website.
