Shortly before Christmas, Tom Kaulitz found himself in an extremely unpleasant situation: the musician fell for credit card fraudsters.
In their joint podcast “Kaulitz Hills – Mustard from Hollywood”, the Kaulitz twins Tom and Bill regularly provide insights into their private lives. Now the two Tokio Hotel stars got to talk about an extremely unpleasant topic: Tom Kaulitz’s credit cards were hacked.
“You fell for a scam this week,” said Bill Kaulitz, adding: “You actually didn’t want to talk about it because you’re embarrassed.” Tom Kaulitz probably gave his credit card details.
“Out of willingness to help”
“Just out of a willingness to help, because I wanted to help mom,” he then explained. He apparently received an extremely professional-looking message that a package was stuck in customs. In general, he doesn’t know anything about it. “Then I gave my credit card. Then the first one didn’t go through, then I gave the second one, which didn’t go through either, the third one gave it, didn’t go through either, then the fourth one.” .. And now all my credit cards are hacked,” said the 34th -year olds.
Luckily, he noticed this pretty quickly and blocked his credit cards. “Immediately afterwards, I accidentally looked at my bills and thought to myself: I haven’t placed three orders on Amazon today.” Things ended relatively lightly for the guitarist, but he still warned his listeners to be particularly careful: “Be really careful! Crime is high at Christmas.”
The credit card fraud is unlikely to overshadow the numerous successes that the twins are currently celebrating: “We are at an all-time high for our year,” the two summed up. The musicians and their team not only won the current “The Voice of Germany” season, but also received several awards and recently held their first live event in Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie as part of their podcast.
