A 54-year-old resident of the Chamzinsky district turned to the city of Saransk. The man said that he became a victim of cryptocurrency scammers and lost 2,601,000 rubles.

The victim found an advertisement for the “investment platform” on the Internet and, according to the contacts indicated in it, contacted the “administrator”. Fraudsters promised him an easy and quick income. The man registered on the platform and transferred the first deposit of 10,000 rubles.

Then, within a few weeks, he made several more payments in the amount of 80,000 to 730,000 rubles. As a result, the total amount of investments reached 2.6 million rubles. When the victim ended the savings, he decided to withdraw part of the funds. After that, his accounts on the platform were blocked, and the “administrators” stopped in touch.

The man turned to the police. Now employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city district of Saransk are conducting investigative measures.

Earlier, a resident of Guryevsk in a similar scheme lost 7 million rubles.
