The man was called by someone who promised him cryptocurrencies worth several thousand dollars. The condition was to install a special program on his computer. Unfortunately, the victim listened to the scammer. The software turned out to be a virus that allowed the hacker to access the 51-year-old's online banking. The next step was to take a loan on the latter for 75 thousand PLN and finally transfer the money to the criminal's account. Watch out for Telegram!
