Bobingen (dpa / lby) - With the lie that his four-year-old daughter was suffering from cancer, a man from Bobingen near Augsburg asked for donations.
The 31-year-old posted a photo of the girl in a Facebook group and wrote that she was suffering from leukemia, a police spokesman said on Tuesday.
The vertigo was discovered when the mother of the actually healthy four-year-old saw the appeal for donations and turned to the police.
According to the police spokesman, the parents live separately and their relationship is "complicated".
The father is now being investigated.
According to the police, the appeal for donations with the photo of the little girl has been deleted since December.
How long he was online, the spokesman could not say.
It is also unclear so far whether the 31-year-old spread the call on other platforms and how much money he made with it.
The police asked the injured party to contact her.
