Karol Strasburger talks about planned fraud. When did he notice the problem?
The actor is not thinking about going to court. He believes that publicizing the case in the media will be more effective in this case. “What will the court do? This is all taking too long and the matter is too serious to ignore. This does not look like a situation where the company has no money – on the contrary, it seems that they have an excess of it, but they just want deceive customers. At this point, this clearly appears to be another case of financial fraud” – said Strasburger in a conversation with Pudelek. “The whole situation is frustrating because… I'm starting to feel helpless. I have been looking for contact with the owner of the company, to write him an individual letter or call him, but no one talks, he added.
At what point did the presenter notice something was wrong? It turns out that when paying at a gas station. “I wanted to pay at the gas station and suddenly it turned out that the card didn't work. Then I wanted to pay for the trip, but the card was not accepted. At that moment I started to receive information that something was happening with this currency exchange office,” he said. “I immediately reacted and started transferring all my funds to another account so as not to be left without money. The Czech crowns I had passed through, but not the euros and zlotys. On my account in the application I see the message 'in progress' – the money has been sent, but has not reached the bank,” explained the host of the popular game show.
