Austrian Officer Mistakenly Uses Photo of American Celebrity in Search for Suspect
|Updated:

A photo of American actor and TV producer Peter Marc Jacobson was recently used in a search by an Austrian officer in hopes of finding a fraud suspect in Vienna, Austria.

Roman Hahslinger, police spokesman, said on April 13 that police only advertised Jacobson’s photo because the Viennese woman claimed she was defrauded of 46,000 euros (almost $52,000) .

The man allegedly asked the woman to invest money in diamonds and gems.
