Val de fraude în Austria: falși polițiști au invocat „infractori români” pentru a obține bani

In Carinthia, Austria, several individuals were targeted by phone fraud attempts where scammers posed as police officers. An 87-year-old man fell victim, handing over thousands of euros to a fraudster who visited his home. The police reported that the scammers claimed there were crimes committed nearby by supposed 'Romanian perpetrators', creating panic among victims. Most recipients recognized the fraud and reported it, but the elderly man was convinced and lost his money. The identity of the scammer remains unknown, and the mention of 'Romanian criminals' is part of the scam narrative, not an indication of actual involvement.
