This came up in the AM today, a local story from Wiesbaden.
85-year-old German gal gets this call. Guy says he's from such-and-such clinic, and the granddaughter is tested positive on Covid-19 test, and must enter quarantine. The guy then says that the relative doesn't have cash to survive quarantine, and grandma needs to come up with 'cash' (amount not specified). Naturally, someone would come by and pick up the 'loot' later.
In this case, grandma didn't fall for the trap, and hung up on the guy....calling the granddaughter and finding her safe with no Covid-19.
Scams evolve on a monthly basis.
