Crooks tricked two men on the internet. A 26 year old man from Salzburg saw an ad. The ad promised quick money. The man sent 60.000 Euro to other countries. He sent money to Germany and Portugal. He got no money back. He went to the police. The police now search for the crooks.
A 69 year old man from Tirol is a victim too. He saw a website for investments in February. Unknown people wrote many messages to him. They acted like workers from a firm. The man paid money many times. He lost a very high amount of money. The police investigate this case now.
Experts warn about such offers on the internet. Crooks use social media for their ads. They promise high gains in short time. People pay the money themselves. Then the bank can not get the money back. Be careful with offers for much money.
