An elderly man in Östersund, Sweden, has reported to police that he was defrauded. Over nine months, he swished a total of 118,000 kronor, believing he was participating in a lottery. 5 million kronor.
He swished money repeatedly because the fraudster said if he did not pay, he would lose his chance to win the money. Per Thelin at the police in Östersund told SVT Nyheter Jämtland that he had never heard of this type of fraud before. The case is now being investigated by the fraud unit.
