Manhunt for perpetrator
Fraudster defrauded man (37) of 17,000 euros via text message
A seemingly harmless text message - supposedly from his bank - cost a 37-year-old Bosnian man living in Gmunden a lot of money. He had been taken in by a fraudster. The unknown perpetrator is now being sought and there are pictures of him.
An as yet unknown perpetrator obtained the account details of a 37-year-old Bosnian citizen from the district of Gmunden on June 3, 2024 at around 12 noon. The trick: He sent the victim a text message under the name of his bank. It contained a link. The victim clicked on the link and entered the user number and PIN in the input mask.
Second cell phone registered
The 37-year-old then received another text message - this time from his bank. He was informed that another cell phone had been registered for a cell phone payment function. The 37-year-old initially thought nothing of it because he had just bought a new cell phone himself.
A lot of money withdrawn
Only after a few withdrawals did he realize that he had become the victim of a crime and filed a complaint. The man had lost 17,000 euros. There are photographs of the unknown perpetrator. The Vienna public prosecutor's office has ordered a manhunt.
