Tyrolerin loses hundreds of thousands of euros from Internet fraud!

A shocking fraud in Tyrol shows the unscrupulous methods of online fraudsters. In a particularly sophisticated scenario, a 59-year-old woman was cheated on a social network by an alleged admirer who turned out to be in love with her and brought her to transfer a medium six-digit euro amount for several months. Between October 8 and December 23 of the past year, the fraudsters pumped several hundred thousand euros from the unsuspecting Tyrolean, who finally informed the police when the demands were always brazen, such as krone.at reported .

But that's not the only incident. Another Tyrolean, 48 years old, fell into an equally perfidious fraud. Between mid-November and early December 2024, she was addressed by online advertising and willingly revealed her contact details. The fraudsters not only convinced them to carry out money transfers to a foreign account, but also to invest their savings in cryptocurrencies via a newly furnished account. In order to solve alleged problems in the facility, they asked for access to their computer, which ultimately led to the total control of their finances. The loss here was around 22,000 euros, such as Imticker.ch reported .
