9000 euros gone

Pongau man (29) fell for crypto fraudsters

A 29-year-old man from Pongau fell victim to internet fraudsters on Sunday. The perpetrators used a fake link to gain access to the Pongauer's wallet and withdrew stablecoins worth 9,000 euros.

The 29-year-old has been speculating with cryptocurrencies for some time. When he was promised a voucher, he clicked on the link and was lured to a fake page where he entered the access data to his crypto account. The perpetrators were then able to debit the amount. Investigations are ongoing.
