Fraud SMS – 8700 euros lost to supposed daughter

A broken cell phone caused a man from Pongau (57) to transfer a lot of money to his supposed daughter. The fraudsters contacted you via text message and feigned an emergency.

Her cell phone has water damage, so she’s writing from a strange number. With this text message, a 57-year-old from Pongau was duped by fraudsters. His “daughter” needed money to pay bills, but could no longer access the data that was necessary for this. The Pongauer transferred money a total of four times in the two days afterwards and lost more than 8,700 euros.
