Are you a customer of a large online retailer? If a supposed employee calls you and wants your account details, you should be careful. Because that's how a Carinthian civil servant was ripped off. He immediately filed a complaint and alerted the bank - but the money is still gone. The courts will have to clarify how this can be.

Mr. A. is a civil servant, educated, experienced and actually computer-savvy. But the fate of the 50-year-old from Klagenfurt shows that hardly anyone is immune to the nasty tricks of professional fraudsters.
