Fraudster claim
Wife stopped husband from paying 50,000 euros
That ended rather lightly! A man from Salzburg had already transferred several thousand euros to fraudsters. When they demanded another 50,000 euros for an alleged investment, the wife of the 68-year-old man from Flachgau intervened.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The man became aware of an investment opportunity and initially transferred just under 500 euros to open an investment account. The unknown fraudsters then managed to extract 20,000 euros from him, which they supposedly wanted to invest.
However, because the fraudsters then demanded another 50,000 euros, the victim's bank got involved and asked whether everything was above board. However, the man wiped away his initial doubts because the fraudsters signaled their willingness to pay with a 1000 euro transfer.
The 68-year-old was on the verge of transferring the 50,000 euros after all. However, his wife prevented him from doing so and the fraud was discovered.
The police are currently investigating.
