On an internet platform
Fraudster lures thousands of euros out of Tyrolean people’s pockets
Another case of internet fraud occurred in Landeck on Thursday. False reports instructed a local man (40) to transfer his cryptocurrency to a trading platform. The Tyrolean lost thousands of euros.
A previously unknown perpetrator informed the 40-year-old on Thursday that malicious software had been installed on his "hardware wallet" due to an update. In order to fix this error - and to prevent data loss - the man was told to transfer his cryptocurrency to another platform.
Money gone a short time later
The victim followed these instructions and carried out the transaction. A short time later, the entire amount was transferred by the perpetrators. The 40-year-old suffered losses amounting to several thousand euros as a result.
