Good evening,


you think "not again",

but it really doesn't stop.

So again, crooks have managed to extract money, in this case several thousand euros, from an elderly couple with a phone call full of shocking news.

The 73-year-old man actually thought it was his daughter on the phone when a strange woman pretended to be her and told him she had caused an accident and was now being held in custody unless the parents paid bail.

The fact that the person who finally took the ransom from the two wore an FFP-2 mask on this occasion does not make the search for him any easier.

Note: Always keep a cool head, especially when others ask for money!

But you should not only be careful on the phone,

but also on the Internet.

The Hessian Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) has warned against targeted disinformation campaigns by pro-Russian actors, in which false reports about the war are often mixed up with different conspiracy stories.

Note: Never only pay attention to what exactly you are reading, but also to who is spreading it.

Of course you can rely on the FAZ.

There you can read, for example, how the CDU candidate for the office of Frankfurt Mayor, Uwe Becker, is doing in an interview with his colleague Bernhard Biener.

Of course, all serious candidates know that after the failure of the previous incumbent, the greatest possible seriousness helps above all.

What does this lead to?

That Mr. Becker says about his competitors from the SPD and the Greens: "Mike Josef is a decent guy, and I was able to work excellently with Manuela Rottmann." But the election campaign can still be a bit more controversial.

Note: The voter also wants to have a choice.

And

what's more, the former Telekom building on Danziger Platz in Frankfurt will be standing longer than planned;
