Following their instructions, he repeatedly sent funds to various accounts, ultimately losing more than 57,800 euros. In early July, the fraudsters asked for an additional 15,000 euros, prompting the victim to suspect a scam and report the incident to the police station in Slavonski Brod. Authorities are conducting a criminal investigation to identify the perpetrators. Police have warned citizens about frequent investment scams where scammers falsely present themselves as financial experts, promising quick and high returns. They also note that scammers often request installation of malicious software, allowing them access to victims' banking information.
