A 74-year-old retiree from the Salzburg Tennengau fell victim to internet fraudsters and lost 25,000 euros.
The prospect of high returns on a professionally and seriously appearing website led a retiree from the Salzburg Tennengau to invest in a supposedly profitable investment.
The 74-year-old transferred a total of 25,000 euros to foreign accounts. When he was later supposed to transfer an additional 16,000 euros to have his alleged profits paid out, he became suspicious and filed a report. The police are investigating.
