An unknown man offered a 53-year-old resident of Khakassia additional income from cryptocurrencies and persuaded the woman to transfer 2.7 million rubles to the “investment platform”.
According to the local department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the unknown person first called the Abakan woman on the phone, and then the communication between them switched to instant messenger. An “investment consultant” persuaded a woman to buy USDT stablecoins. To defraud the victim of 2.7 million rubles, the scammers needed several transactions.
After the funds were transferred, the Abakan woman began to expect a profit, but the “investment consultant” stopped communicating. Then the victim realized that she had been deceived and went to the police. Investigators are now trying to establish the identity of the scammers.
Representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs once again warn about the dangers of investing in digital assets, especially after calls and messages from some unknown investment assistants.
In November, a resident of Primorye lost almost 3 million rubles under a similar scheme.
