Thousands of euros lost
Help with cryptocurrency investment was a scam
An East Tyrolean became a victim of internet fraudsters. The 49-year-old had wanted to invest money - now thousands of euros are gone.
A 49-year-old man from East Tyrol had been investing in cryptocurrency since 2021 and received a text message on his cell phone this year stating that a stranger had accessed his account.
In the course of an initial telephone contact, an alleged employee of the company managed to persuade the 49-year-old to transfer the money he had invested. He disclosed all the accesses until finally a high five-digit euro amount was transferred.
Since then, the 49-year-old Austrian has no longer been able to access the money and contact with the alleged employee has also been broken off, which is why the man filed a complaint with the police in Lienz.
