The victim of the scammer was a 30-year-old woman, a resident of the city of Volos, who, not realizing the danger, followed a link on her mobile phone, allegedly sent from a Greek bank. And in the evening of the same day she received a message that the money that was in her account had “disappeared.”
Yesterday, a three-member criminal court in Volos convicted in absentia a Romanian citizen found guilty of computer fraud. The defendant was sentenced to 12 months in prison without parole, commutation and no appeal, so if he was caught he would end up in prison.
On July 28, 2021, a young woman received on her mobile phone An SMS supposedly from a Greek bank asking you to follow a link to unblock your account. The woman pressed the button. But already at midnight on the same day she received an SMS from the bank stating that money in the amount of 1,200 euros had been withdrawn from her account. Having contacted the bank, the victim discovered that in one day three withdrawals of funds from her account of 400 euros were made.
The woman testified in court, noting that although she asked the bank to freeze transactions made from her account, she was told that she could not intervene because it turned out that they were “transactions with the company.”
