Almost €10,000 lost
Money and car: Fraudster fools Tyrolean into winning
From a supposed lucky man to a victim of internet fraudsters: A Tyrolean man (37) was tricked into believing he had won money and a car in an English lottery. The man was supposed to transfer a high, four-digit euro amount in advance for the delivery of the car. Which he did.
At the end of June, a previously unknown perpetrator had already offered to buy a ticket for an English lottery for a 37-year-old man from the Innsbruck-Land district via a social media platform.
Costs for transportation and co.
The next day, the fraudster tricked the Tyrolean into believing that he had won a car and money. "In order to receive the vehicle, however, he had to pay for transportation, Nova and other costs," the police said.
Car was never delivered
The 37-year-old then paid a high four-digit euro amount, i.e. almost 10,000 euros, by prepaid card or direct bank transfer. However, the car was never delivered.
When the victim noticed the fraud, she immediately reported it to the police. The money is gone - there is no trace of the perpetrators.
