A company in Burgenland fell for the scam: the company transferred a low six-figure amount to fraudsters posing as a business partner. The money was already transferred in February. However, the fraud was not noticed until Monday, when the company received a reminder from the “real” business partner.
The company from the Neusiedl am See district received an invoice by email in February, followed the same day by three others that were identical but referred to a “new bank account”, police reported on Tuesday. Since the accounts appeared “deceptively real”, the amount was transferred to the “new” account.
According to the Burgenland state police headquarters, it was an IBAN code with a German country code.
