BAA man from Split lost over 50,000 euros after falling victim to an online scam. He initially invested 300 euros based on an advertisement promising earnings through investment. After contacting a woman claiming to work for a brokerage firm, he allowed her remote access to his mobile device to install an investment app. Following this, he transferred 20,000 euros and then an additional 30,000 euros. However, he could no longer contact the individuals who had presented themselves as employees of the brokerage company, leading him to suspect he had been scammed.

Citizens are advised not to open suspicious links, allow anyone access to internet or mobile banking—especially via screen sharing—and to immediately report any suspicious messages or calls to their banks and the police.
