Between August 2020 and July 2022, a woman from Salzburg invested in a seemingly lucrative Bitcoin trading venture. But she fell into a scammer’s trap.
An unknown perpetrator had contacted the 52-year-old via the internet and promised her big profits through smart investments in the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. For example, the woman from Salzburg repeatedly transferred amounts of money that were transferred to various accounts of the perpetrator.
The offender justified the ongoing payments with activation fees and tax payments. The woman transferred a total of 143,200 euros. Curious: the woman only filed a report at the request of the bank. According to the police, the woman from Salzburg is still convinced of future profits from the business model.
