More and more people in Vienna are reporting rip-off attempts. These often end up in court. However, many people shy away from this and prefer to pay. But 399 euros for pulling over is hard to beat in terms of audacity. This is what is happening around the old Sport-&-Fun-Halle in the 2nd district. Krone+ shows how people are being ripped off there and elsewhere in Vienna - and how you can defend yourself.

The Sport-&-Fun-Halle at Marathonweg 22 in Leopoldstadt has been closed to the public since the new building in the Venediger Au. This is where the young talents of the local gymnastics scene currently train. And there is currently a lot of excitement. For a few days now, letters have been fluttering into the post box - and they are quite something.
