So far, unknown individuals have telephoned a 62-year-old man from Spittal between July 22 and 24. They faked a payment of supposedly frozen Bitcoin profits, but the victim first had to transfer a deposit of 1.5 percent of the payment amount. To do this, the 62-year-old gave the perpetrators remote access to his computer. Finally, the unknown individuals made two transfers of several thousand euros to foreign accounts, according to the police report.
