A 74-year-old man in Csongrád-Csanád was scammed out of over 100 million HUF by fraudsters posing as police and treasury investigators. They falsely claimed his company was under cyber attack and manipulated him into transferring money and handing over cash. The scammers took control of his computer and installed remote access applications on his phone. After several transactions, the victim was informed that his personal account was also compromised, leading to further demands for money. Eventually, a bank teller alerted him that his company's account was empty, indicating he had been defrauded. Following a report, police quickly identified and arrested the suspects involved in the significant fraud case.
