According to the police, a 40-year-old from the district has tried to sell companies by tens of thousands of euros.
He almost succeeded.
Fürstenfeldbruck - As the police in Rosenheim reported, a craft business filed a complaint at the end of April.
His email account had been hacked.
One of his customers almost transferred 24,000 euros to a fraudulent account.
Only because the tradesman and his customer had called again did the dizziness break out.
The investigators got involved.
They discovered that a few days later, 53,000 euros were deposited in the fraudster's account.
In this case, too, the email account had been hacked.
The fraudster had pretended to be a machine dealer from Hamburg.
A metal construction company from Carinthia in Austria had transferred the money - actually for a CNC milling machine.
Thanks to the rapid intervention and cooperation with the bank, the State Criminal Police Office and the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office, the 53,000 euros that had already been transferred were finally frozen a few days after the transfer.
The company got the money back.
A lot of trouble awaits the scammer.
