How do fraudsters work in such cases? First, an obituary appears on the staircase. Then someone from the group of fraudsters knocks on the residents’ doors. He informs them about the wreath contribution and asks for money. Interestingly, according to reports from Kalisz residents, the obituaries are authentic. Fraudsters probably steal them from the boards designated for hanging them.

The funeral home appeals for vigilance

The Hermes funeral home also informed about the problem. – We have received information about fraudsters. Someone is stealing obituaries from boards designated for this purpose (not only our company’s, but also those of our competitors). Obituaries are always posted by funeral companies in designated places by the family. They are placed in front of the entrance to the staircase, never on the staircase on notice boards. We also ask you to be vigilant – said employees of the “Hermes” Funeral Home in Kalisz in a post on Facebook. However, it is currently unknown whether fraudsters also use this method in other towns.
