Because buying a dog on the Internet seemed suspicious to him due to the strange procedure, a 28-year-old Tyrolean filed a complaint.
The man wanted to buy a puppy via a website and made contact with an unknown person via a messenger platform. This person asked him to transfer a low four-digit euro amount to an account in Cameroon. The man initially complied with the request, but wanted to withdraw from the purchase a little later.
Marvel at $ 30,000
Then it got really strange: at the request of the unknown person, he opened an account with an online bank, whereupon 30,000 (!) Dollars were immediately transferred to him. He was also told to withhold 1,800 euros and transfer the rest back.
The local finally filed a complaint with the police.
