He has never traveled – and yet hotel bills and taxi fares from stays in different countries were debited from his account. A 22-year-old German living in Tyrol fell victim to clever internet fraudsters.
In the period between July and November of this year, various amounts of money were repeatedly debited from the bank account of the German living in Kitzbühel. For services that the 22-year-old had never used before. From parts of the world he has never been to.
“This involved a wide variety of transactions, such as payments for taxi rides or hotel bookings, in different countries,” police said.
More than 10,000 euros in damage
According to the researchers, the amount of damage determined so far amounts to a low, five-digit euro amount. So more than 10,000 euros. The money is gone – there is no trace of the perpetrator. Investigations are underway.
