Four bank transfers
False notary took thousands of euros from Tyrolean woman
A supposed donation of several hundred thousand euros turned out to be an online scam for a Tyrolean woman (42). The woman transferred several thousand euros to a fake notary and filed a complaint.
The 42-year-old was contacted via a chat group in mid-September. She was promised a donation of several hundred thousand euros for charitable purposes.
In order to receive the donation, the victim was asked to pay various fees and activate a trust account.
