A local man (77) was the victim of a serious scam in Tyrol. A company had contacted him by telephone and offered him a profitable deal with Bitcoin, he said. This sounded serious to the man, so he made several transfers of hundreds of thousands of euros.
The person reported a total financial loss in the mid six-figure euro range.

Suddenly, contact with the company was broken off and no further contact was possible until an alleged consultant surprisingly contacted him and promised to get the money back. All the 77-year-old had to do was transfer the money again ...
The victim of the scam complied with this request once again and once more transferred several sums of money. According to the police, the total financial loss incurred by the scammer amounted to a mid-six-figure euro sum.
