Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen A man from Pinzgau (54) has become the victim of a serious scam. As reported by the police, the man reported on October 11 that he and an acquaintance had lost a total of 120,000 euros. The man from Pinzgau had met a woman online in June 2023 who persuaded him to invest via a trading website that she recommended to him.
The 54-year-old then transferred a total of 95,000 euros to various accounts managed by alleged brokers. Convinced of the supposed seriousness of the offer, the man from Pinzgau also persuaded a 37-year-old acquaintance from Pinzgau to invest 25,000 euros.
The website finally went offline at the end of January 2024, and the last contact with the unknown woman took place in July. There has been no trace of her since then. The police are investigating the case for serious fraud.
