Worthless banknotes – suppose used helpfulness for fraud

Date:

His willingness to help saved a 35-year-old from the Vöcklabruck district with 800 euros. The man changed his money into Romanian lei because he had been asked for help. Only later did the trusting person notice that the banknotes handed over to him were invalid since 2006.

The bizarre fraud case took place in Unterach. There, on Monday evening, a couple with a Romanian vehicle approached a 35-year-old at a bus stop. The couple said they had bad luck and urgently needed money. But they wouldn’t be able to go to a bank anymore. Couldn’t he, the nice gentleman, exchange her Romanian lei for euros?

Helpful man withdrawing money
The 35-year-old from the Vöcklabruck district allowed himself to be persuaded, even withdrew several hundred euros and exchanged them for the slate as requested. Some time later, the helpful man became suspicious and searched the Internet for the security features of the foreign currency. He commented: The bills the couple gave him are invalid since 2006 and therefore worthless. There, of course, the couple was already over the mountains. The investigation is ongoing. A search is underway for the two suspects.
