Carinthian fraudsters: 127 victims and over 60,000 euros damage!

The waves go up in Carinthia: A 38-year-old man from the Völkermarkt district is suspected of having led a fraudulent card seller between December 2023 and August 2024. He offered tickets for top-class events on an internet sales platform, including concerts by Coldplay and Adele as well as tickets for the Salzburg Festival and the European Football Championship. But after receiving the money from his unsuspecting buyers who come from all over Austria, the promised cards failed to materialize. According to the information from orf.at , a total of 127 victims were determined, and the amount that the fraudsters left is over 60,000 euros.

fraudulent machinations and false identities

The investigation by the PI St. Kanzian's crime service group on Lake Klopein has not only brought its fraudulent ticket sales to light. The man is also charged with false documents. In November 2023, he exhibited fake documents as part of his application for a workplace, including a manipulated insurance data extract and a completely invented criminal register extract. He camouflaged himself as a "commercial manager" with an alleged master's degree, such as Regionaljournal.at . The accused is now in the Klagenfurt prison.

The claims against him not only include commercial fraud, but also a number of emails and chats that were part of his manipulated communication. This makes it clear that this case not only represents a simple fraud, but also revealed an entire system of illustrations and lies that was kept alive for months.
