Ripped off twice
Tyrolean lost over 100,000 euros to online scammers
A Tyrolean man was taken in by two alleged employees of a cryptocurrency company. On both occasions, he transferred money to the strangers several times. The loss is exceptionally high at more than 100,000 euros.
During a telephone call at the end of October, the local man was offered an investment with high profit prospects by an alleged employee of a cryptocurrency investment company.
Incredible sum lost
The victim must have liked this and transferred a total of over 100,000 euros to an account in several tranches. Contact with the supposed company then broke off at the end of November.
Second employee comes forward
On Tuesday, the scam continued: an alleged employee of another company contacted the man and offered to get the money back. In return, the local man once again transferred an amount of several tens of thousands of euros in several tranches. However, the man did not get his money back.
This was not the first case this month in which a Tyrolean lost a huge amount of money to online fraudsters. As reported, a 77-year-old man also recently fell victim to a scam. He also lost hundreds of thousands of euros.
