Residents of Maribor and surrounding areas have fallen victim to online scams involving cryptocurrency, with losses totaling over €260,000 in just a few days. The victims were deceived into granting scammers access to their banking accounts or directly transferring money under the pretense of secure investments or unexpected financial gains. According to police reports, these incidents occurred rapidly, often within hours of contact with the fraudsters. In one case, a man from Maribor allowed a stranger access to his bank account, which was quickly emptied, resulting in a loss exceeding €24,000. Another victim believed he had nearly €10,000 worth of cryptocurrency on his account, despite having never traded in such assets. He granted remote access to his online banking system and lost €75,000 shortly thereafter. A third individual was convinced by a phone call promising high returns from investing in cryptocurrencies and transferred almost €40,000 before realizing the scam. Further incidents followed. On Wednesday alone, two separate cases saw victims lose more than €55,000 and €42,000 respectively after allowing unknown individuals access to their online banking systems. The following day, another victim reported losing nearly €25,000 due to similar fraudulent activity. These figures represent only the most notable cases, as police have received numerous other reports involving smaller sums. The common thread among all these incidents is the deceptive tactics used by the scammers. They typically pose as legitimate entities offering lucrative investment opportunities or claiming that victims have forgotten funds stored in digital currencies. These claims are designed to create a sense of urgency, prompting victims to act quickly without thoroughly verifying the legitimacy of the situation. Authorities emphasize the importance of preserving evidence once a scam is suspected. Many victims delete applications, emails, messages, and other communication traces with the fraudster, inadvertently destroying crucial evidence that could aid in identifying the perpetrators. Police urge victims not to erase data or apps immediately upon discovering the scam and instead to preserve all communications and promptly report the incident to law enforcement. Police recommend several precautionary measures to avoid falling prey to such scams. Individuals should terminate conversations with anyone offering quick profits or claiming found funds, refrain from disclosing personal, security, or banking information, and avoid granting remote access to phones or computers. Direct transfers to strangers should be avoided, and suspicious transactions, payments, or online forms should not be approved. It is advised to save telephone numbers, messages, and other communications as proof. Particular caution is urged regarding offers of rapid earnings or forgotten/fortified financial resources. People are encouraged to be especially cautious when considering such investments. A business in Northern Primorska also fell victim to a similar scam, suffering losses of more than €10,000. Employees were tricked into making payments to a foreign bank account by someone posing as an employee of another company. After detecting the anomaly, the company alerted its bank and attempted to prevent the transaction's completion. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident. Police warn that cyberfrauds targeting businesses are becoming increasingly frequent. Scammers often impersonate directors, business partners, or suppliers and attempt to convince employees to make payments through electronic messages. These schemes frequently create a sense of urgency, pressuring employees to act immediately. Businesses are advised to verify the authenticity of any request for payment, particularly when asked to transfer funds to a new or changed bank account. Verification should occur through an alternative communication channel, such as a direct phone call to a known contact number of the business partner or responsible party. Additional verification steps are recommended for larger payments, along with regular awareness sessions for employees regarding such types of fraud. If a business discovers it has been a victim of a cyberfraud, it is advised to immediately inform its bank to try to prevent the execution of the payment and to report the incident to the police. Prompt action can significantly reduce or prevent financial damage.

Primorske noviceNeodvisenSredinapred 10 uramiPodjetje v severni regiji Primorska je postalo žrtev spletne goljufije, ki je povzročila izgube več kot 10.000 €. Po mnenju policijskih organov v Novi Gorici je neznani storilci goljufali zaposlene v zadevnem podjetju, tako da so se lažno predstavili kot odgovorna oseba iz drugega gospodarskega subjekta. To je privedlo do izvedbe plačilnih transakcij na tuji bančni račun, kar je storilcu omogočilo pridobitev nezakonite finančne koristi. Zaposleni so med naknadnim preverjanjem odkrili goljufivo dejavnost in takoj obvestili svojo banko, da bi poskušali preprečiti dokončanje transakcije. Policija še vedno preiskuje okoliščine tega varnostnega incidenta.
