You should call the place where his passport was processed at, and report it stolen. Do this ASAP.
inside Deutsche Post? that’s a harsh claim. and why is this letter obviously fake? it tells you that the package got damaged in one of their machines
Police
It’s real, call the number on the letter and tell you’re missing the passport.
The passport probably still lies somewhere in the sorting machine or could not be attributed without doubt to this letter.
Its the real telephone number of Deutsche Post, the letter seems real (and yes Post gives a fxck)and it asks for a call if something is missing. It can also be a problem with a automatic soting machine, call and declare missing item. If not found don´t forget to inform your goverment.
The passport was probably pushed out of the envelope by a sorting machine.
That’s why the envelope is damaged and you got the letter and the plastic bag.
You need to call the number.
Also note: If you report the passport as missing and it shows up afterwards, DO NOT USE IT AGAIN, it will be flagged in the interpol systems and get you pulled on the airport.
If it’s actually stolen, report it to the police **immediately**.
After that go to the local citizen’s office / the place where your son applied for it and report it stolen, bring the police report with you.
The plastikbag looks legit. Was working at DP and they use these bags. And in these Sorters its esay to not find something. They sometimes 3 floors high. Call them that know what to look for
My head is about to explode. Seriously, please give Deutsche Post a call to investigate AND definitely complain to your consulate! How can they send such a valuable document in such a flimsy envelope in the first place?!
The letter is legit. But still, someone stole the passport (or it got lost) and you should report it.
Since the package seems to come from the US consulate, I would call DHL, the German police and your consulate and state the matter.
>The letter is obviously a fake
I would not be that sure. I received once something similar, but my content was still there, just mangled.
>Who do I call?
The number on it is from the German post service. You could call it
But I would go in a post office, in person. Is going to make things much simple, they can see the letter, scan the barcode …
>This is a crime, right?
Maybe, maybe not. Shit happens. Not oft.
Stealing a pass this way … I don’t know. Risky, and is pretty clear you will report it as missing, which means the pass will be not that useful anymore.
Hard, flat, objects the size of a credit card are the Nemesis of any postage sorting machine. The machines move at speeds that can produce enough inertia to basically catapult things like passports put of the envelope. That is why you’ll always get credit cards and such glued to a piece of paper that seldom has anything more than some PR gibberish on it. It’s real use is to prevent the card from flying out of the envelope.
Ask trading card collectors, they will all be able to tell you a story or two about sorting machines chewing up expensive cards.
A few things:
– No, it’s not fake. Call the number!
– Why would you send a real passport via mail? A copy sure, but an actual, real passport?
I’m pretty sure it did not get stolen.
Those sorting machines do rip the envelope if you use the wrong paper.
Same thing happened to me when I a friend posted me my key back in a normal envelope.
Are you writing from the consulate? The letter says it’s being returned since the addressee could not be identified.
So if you are working for the consulate, I think you must know what to do.
Or is this a HOAX ?
The letter is genuine, it probably got into a sorting machine and was eaten there. It’s a completely normal process that you then get it repackaged
Everyone’s talking about the police but the most important call us to your local embassy, assuming it’s not a German passport, to get it marked as lost/stolen.
Probably not stolen but more likely lost in the sorting machines/damaged/destroyed.
“Sollten Sie einen Teil oder den Inhalt der Sendung vermissen oder noch Fragen haben, rufen Sie uns bitte an.”
“Who do I call?”
Its not that hard. -Do whats written in the letter instead of asking on reddit.
Why is the letter obviously a fake? Share your greater insight with the class. But seriously, what is the scam here? Somebody ‘steals the passport’ because they have laser eyes and can see through envelopes and then tries to cover it up by making it look like a sorting machine failure that got detected and reported. They then even go as far as to place everything in an official plastic bag made specifically for these cases.
Just call the number and sort it out. JFC.
Hey I am working for Deutsche Post and send a lot of letters out. Yep that’s a real letter from us, they probably just copied a bunch of these and send out if needed. And I don’t think it got stolen from an employee it probably just ripped open in one of our sorting machines, it happens.
Who tf steals a passport dude🤨
Die GSA (großbriefsortieranlage) in den Briefzentren beschädigt manchmal Sendungen.
Wenn der Empfänger Glück hat, liegt der Inhalt neben dem Umschlag und man kann es dann gut einordnen.
Wenn man Pech hat, ist auch der Inhalt beschädigt oder nicht mehr zuzuordnen.
In France, passports are always given in person at the town hall to avoid this.
You can order a passport via post?
Report it stolen to your embassy. Make a complaint with Deutsche Post. Registered mail is supposed to be treated with respect.
