She actually wanted to look for a job, but the 35-year-old woman from the Tyrolean district of Reutte fell into the trap of nasty internet fraudsters. Despite ‘work’, the victim ultimately lost several thousand euros.
On New Year’s Eve, the 35-year-old had already filled out a form on a so-called online job portal to find a job. She was then contacted via a courier service by an unknown person who claimed to want to help her find a job.
Woman had to buy cryptocurrencies
The Tyrolean must buy products, rate them and write reviews. To do this, she had to buy cryptocurrencies. Only initially did withdrawing the invested amounts work with a commission, but later the woman no longer received a refund. At the same time, she started a second job with a similar approach.
“At her first job, the woman thought she was working for a price comparison portal. However, when we inquired about this company, it turned out that the company had nothing to do with this activity and that the name had apparently been used improperly,” police said.
It is not possible to get the money back
The victim subsequently filed a report. To date, it has not been possible to determine where the money was transferred. It was no longer possible for the bank to get the money back. The woman suffered damage amounting to several thousand euros.
