Calculation in Klagenfurt: 78-year-old loses tens of thousands of euros!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - A 78-year-old from the Klagenfurt district has been victims of a sophisticated fraud stitch over the past two years. Via a social media platform, she met a man who pretended to work in Italy. The contact developed quickly, whereby the fraudster demanded several thousand euros for alleged tools. The good-natured Klagenfurt native transferred enormous money in several tranches and even conveyed codes from poison cards. According to reports from ORF Kärnten the damage adds up to several tens of thousands of euros.

In December 2024, the woman then received emails from a supposed bank. In it, she was informed that she was led as the wife of the fraud and to prevent the system from deleting from the system, to transmit several hundred euros in the form of codes from poison cards. She also complied with this demand. On December 23, she received another email from an "agent" who again asked Codes. This time, however, she refused to pay and filed a complaint. The damage caused by the money transfers and the gift codes continues to be several tens of thousands of euros, as The Krone reported.
