That turned out relatively easy! A man from Salzburg had already transferred several thousand euros to fraudsters. When they demanded an additional 50,000 euros for an alleged investment, the wife of the 68-year-old Flachgau resident intervened.
The man became aware of an investment opportunity and initially transferred almost 500 euros to open an investment account. The unknown fraudsters then took 20,000 euros from him, which they supposedly wanted to invest.
Because the fraudsters then demanded another 50,000 euros, the victim’s bank first took action and asked if everything was going well. However, the man dismissed his initial doubts because the fraudsters indicated that he was willing to pay with a transfer of 1,000 euros.
The 68-year-old was about to transfer the 50,000 euros. But his wife prevented this and the fraud came to light.
The police are currently investigating.
