Serious Fraud with Bail Trick: More Victims Sought

Following the arrest of a suspected fraudster, the Lower Austrian police are looking for more victims. The 21-year-old is believed to be a member of a criminal organization that pretends over the phone that a relative has caused a traffic accident and that bail can prevent detention. The Slovakian woman is said to have collected cash, gold ducats, and jewelry from a woman in Vienna on October 14. Three days later, she was caught red-handed in Germany.

Police in Lower Austria Seeks Fraud Victims

According to a press release, the suspect was identified by the "False Police Officers Investigation Group" at the State Criminal Police Office of Lower Austria under the direction of the Federal Criminal Police Office. On Tuesday, photos of the woman, who is in pre-trial detention in Munich, were published on the orders of the Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office.

The police assume there are more victims of the "bail trick." Potential further victims were asked to contact the State Criminal Police Office (Tel.: 059133-30-3333).
