A woman from Knin lost 16,000 euros: she made an incredible mistake

A 69-year-old woman from Knin became a victim of an internet scam after being contacted by an unknown person who claimed to have 80,000 euros in cryptocurrency and offered to 'release' it if she transferred 16,000 euros from her bank account. Believing the story, she sent the money but could no longer contact the perpetrator. She reported the incident to the Knin Police Station, which is investigating the case. The police warn that investing in cryptocurrencies and stocks is highly risky and advise people, especially the elderly, to consult financial experts before making such decisions. They emphasize the importance of verifying the legitimacy of companies through in-person meetings rather than online communication and urge citizens to report any suspicious activity immediately.
