On a trading platform
Online scammers took thousands of euros from Tyroleans
Two locals recently fell victim to an internet scam. One of the men was taken in by an unknown person who pretended that his cryptocurrency account was not secure. In both cases, tens of thousands of euros were lost.
A man from the district of Kufstein became the victim of an internet crook. He was contacted by a stranger via text message. He was told that his cryptocurrency account had been accessed by someone else. He would therefore have to transfer the cryptocurrency to another platform.
The man complied with this request and transferred it to the foreign platform. He then broke off contact with the unknown perpetrator. The loss amounted to tens of thousands of euros.
Winnings not paid out
A man from the Landeck district suffered a similar fate. Between January 2020 and September 2024, he invested on an online trading platform. However, he was unable to cash out the profits he had allegedly made. In this case too, he lost contact with the operators. He also suffered losses of tens of thousands of euros.
