Baden-Württemberg: Fraudsters want to take a man for 160,000 euros

Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - tricksters have deducted 160,000 euros from a man's account. An unknown person pretended to be a bank employee on Saturday and asked the 42-year-old by phone to give his account details, the police said on Tuesday. In addition, the man should follow a link that he allegedly received from his bank via SMS. The next morning he found that several quick transfers had been made from his account. The police initially did not know whether his attempt to reverse the immediate transfer was successful.
