Admittedly, the realization of this scam came much too late for a German living in Tyrol: it was only after flying to the United States for an alleged Internet acquaintance that he realized that the “American” probably did not even exist. However, by that time he had already lost a huge amount.
The scammers contacted the man who lived in the Kufstein area via social media and pretended to be American. They presented him with false facts and persuaded the German several times to transfer money. In the end, the “American” even tricked the man into flying to the United States to meet her there.
Several thousand euros disappeared
On arrival in the United States, the Tyrolean had to consciously realize that he had been scammed: the arranged meeting never took place. The victim suffered damage of several thousand euros due to the fraud.
