A 66-year-old man from Blankenberge fell victim to a large-scale scam. He lost no less than 331,000 euros after responding to an advertisement for an investment in a company. The scammers used a well-known television face as a poster boy. “During the telephone conversations, the victim’s screen was taken over,” says Commissioner Jan Maertens.
