A resident of Adygea tried to make money on the Internet and transferred almost 1.9 million to scammers
Last weekend, a 44-year-old local resident contacted the Maikov police with information about remote fraud. He said that he first began communicating with strangers about three months ago.
Then the interlocutors introduced themselves as financial experts and offered to organize a quick way for the residents of Maikop to earn money by investing in online investments. The interested city dweller trusted the stranger, took out several loans and gradually transferred all the money he received to the specified account.
It is said that residents of Maykop can use a special mobile application to track how their invested funds were distributed and what profit they received. However, the victim was unable to transfer the virtual currency using his personal information.
When the man realized he was dealing with a fraudster and reported it to the police, the total amount transferred to strangers was 1,008,850,000 rubles. A criminal case was opened, the press service of the republican department of internal affairs reported.
We remind you that earlier, residents of Krasnodar became victims of fraud related to investments in cryptocurrency exchanges. On social networks, a woman met a man who claimed to earn good money on investments.
During the conversation, the latter suggested the possibility of additional earnings and promised to teach all the nuances of financial transactions. Following the advice of the fraudster, the Krasnodar resident deposited more than 1.8 million rubles of her personal savings into the stock exchange account, but later realized that she had become a victim of a fraudster.
