Selling clothes
Online scammer took thousands of euros from woman (28)
An Italian woman (28) who was selling clothes on an internet platform became the victim of an online scam. An alleged prospective buyer sent the woman a QR code from a supposed shipping company. After the transaction was completed, the victim was debited several thousand euros.
The 28-year-old woman wanted to sell clothes worth 61 euros via a platform on Tuesday. An interested party stated that she wanted to buy the goods. Shortly afterwards, the shipping was already being discussed. The buyer sent a QR code to a shipping company.

Technical support was available on this page to accompany every step. After the correspondence, the Italian woman was instructed to confirm the transaction again with a confirmation code on the online bank account and then release it.
This turned out to be a fatal mistake: The fraudsters withdrew several thousand euros from the 28-year-old's account.
