62-year-old from Klagenfurt Victim: Tricker use daughter identity!

Klagenfurt-Land, Österreich - A torn fraud recently lured a 62-year-old man from the Klagenfurt-Land district. On July 7th at 11:26 a.m., he received a message from someone who spent his daughter. The supposed daughter informed him that her cell phone was defective and that she had a new number. Without further ado she asked for a transfer of a four -digit euro amount because she urgently needs money. The good -faith man was not long asked and transferred the required amount. Just a few hours later, the real daughter reported to him and drew him attention to the fraud. He then filed a complaint with the police, which now carried out further investigations to hold the perpetrators, such as meinzirk.at.

The scammers' procedure is not new, but the stitch to appear as a close person shows how perfidious the perpetrators are. In fact, many people are currently victims of such tricks, as the police in the Emsland and the county of Bentheim report. Young people in particular are targeted. Here, contact is often made via social media or messenger services, often under the guise of "lucrative offers" or "quick earning opportunities". The fraudsters encourage their victims to transfer money from their account for others or even open a new bank account in order to disguise the captured funds. These criminal machinations can have significant legal consequences for the victims, including criminal trials for money laundering or aid for fraud, such as [ndr.de] (https://www.ndr.de/niederrichten/niedersachsen/osnabrueck_emsland/betrugsmithe-mire-ueberungs-polize-warnt-junge-mannschen ,-bear-106.hml) warns.
