Austrian woman wants to sell shoes – and is now almost 6,000 euros poorer. She offered an old pair of shoes for 30 euros on an online platform.

She then became a victim of fraudsters. There are some scams circulating not only online, but also via phone calls. The grandchild trick, in which criminals pose as relatives, has been known for years. The woman has now reported her case to the police in order to get her money back. The website Vinted also sent her a message that her account had been blocked.
