Man fell into a trap
Dreaming of riches: girlfriend stops rip-off
Within a few days, a 59-year-old man transferred a fortune to criminals. Because he was still convinced he was going to cash in big time, his partner went to the police.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Cybercrime - especially in connection with cryptocurrency - will continue to be a massive problem this year. Investigators are assuming this. A 59-year-old man from the district of Bruck an der Leitha has now had to experience this for himself.
The man discovered a supposedly safe form of investment in the digital currency on the internet in order to make a large profit quickly. He initially transferred a considerable sum, which - at least that's how the criminals behind the platform made it seem - developed magnificently.
76,000 euros gone
However, he was unable to cash out the amount. Instead, the 59-year-old was put under pressure and transferred two more times to an account in Montenegro. A total of 76,000 euros! While the man from Industrieviertel was still dreaming of riches, his girlfriend had had enough. She went to the police and filed a complaint. Thomas Werth
