Police hold British fraudsters on A1: sacrifice wanted!

In the Melk district, the police have caught a British couple that is accused of having faked a financial emergency throughout Austria as a trickster throughout Austria. The two who were traveling in a gray limousine with British license plates were caught by the officials last week at the Ybbs A1 raststation.

The 29-year-old man was transferred to the Vienna Josefstadt judiciary, while his 29-year-old wife also received a complaint. The police investigations have shown that they are said to have committed at least six frauds between the beginning of September and their arrest, in which they have cheated victims by more than 6,100 euros.

Modus Operandi the fraudsters

The fraudsters presented themselves as needy in need of help and elicited their victims of cash amounts between 500 and 1,500 euros. However, promises of repaying the money in the form of returns were not met, which led to disappointments and financial losses in the victims.

The Lower Austrian executive has called on the population to report if they have had similar experiences. The St. Pölten-and border police police inspection is available on 059133-30-4906. Extensive surveys for further fraud are currently underway because the police are trying to uncover the entire extent of the frauds.

This incident underlines the danger that is based on organized tricksters, especially along heavily frequented roads and rest sites. Sacrifice and witnesses are urgently called on to contribute to information in order to prevent future frauds and to hold the perpetrators into account.
