A fraudster "ate" 27,000 euros from an Austrian businessman by pretending to be Britain's Prince Harry
The scammer simply created a Facebook page as Prince Harry. The unlucky Austrian floor builder apparently got stung and even agreed to start work in… Buckingham.
You see, the scammer convinced him that the queen would change floors and promised him a job worth 1 million euros.
The businessman, without understanding anything, agreed to pay a total of 27,000 euros into various accounts indicated by the fraudster so that, as he told him, he could obtain a permit to take the job in Britain...
As soon as the money was deposited, the fraudster disappeared, but the businessman, thinking he was dealing with a... blue-blood, waited several days before looking for him.
Since then, the perpetrator has been sought, while the police told the victim that the chances of getting his money back are "small."
