A young Abakan resident trusted a certain “trading manager” from the Internet, who convinced him to invest in cryptocurrencies. First, the “investor” transferred 100,000 rubles to the scammers, and over the next week he was convinced to invest another almost 5 million rubles. For this, a resident of Abakan took out loans. The victim transferred funds to the accounts and phone numbers of individuals.
At first, the scammers allowed the young man to withdraw 320,000 rubles of “profit,” which strengthened his confidence. However, then the funds stopped coming – the “trading manager” found various reasons to delay payments, and then stopped contacting him altogether. The police opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Fraud on an especially large scale.”
In October, it was reported that a resident of Novorossiysk lost 12 million rubles on a fraudulent crypto platform.
