Created the trick fraudster on the A1: Warning to Melker Bürger

In the Melk district, the police have tracked down a fraudulent couple that has enriched itself through skillful delusions to drivers along the motorways across Austria. The two, a 29-year-old man and his wife of the same age, were checked by the officials at the hold at the Ybbs rest station on the A1. The man was taken to the Vienna-Josefstadt prison while his wife received a complaint.

The fraudsters were traveling in a gray vehicle with British license plates. According to the police, they have already committed at least six fraud cases since the beginning of September, with the victims of the sums of between 500 and 1,500 euros. The couple's stitch was to pretend a financial emergency and to promise the unsuspecting victim a return, but which never took place. The damage amount has so far amounted to over 6,100 euros.

police asks for information

After the couple has blown up, extensive investigations are currently underway to clarify further fraud and find other victims. The Lower Austrian police have asked all the injured party to report to the St. Pölten-and border police police inspection on 059133-30-4906. The investigation is still underway, and it is believed that the fraudsters may have committed further offenses.

The situation is considered serious, since such fraudulent gangs often find several victims before they are caught. A police spokesman made it clear that the investigation of the case has top priority to prevent further financial damage. The population is called to be vigilant and report suspicious activities in order to counteract a possible increase in such fraudsters.
