A story about easy money associated with buying and selling crypto assets.
A 49-year-old resident of Khmelnytskyi came across an ad about profitable cryptocurrency investments in one of the messengers. It promised high interest rates on contributions.
Deciding to try, the woman began communicating with the so-called "manager," who assured her that the larger the investment, the better the earnings.
The Khmelnytskyi resident took a risk and transferred 96,000 hryvnias to the specified bank account, after which it was blocked.
Currently, law enforcement officers of the regional center are conducting an investigation into this fact.
Investor and entrepreneur Mykhailo Patsan previously spoke about another fraudulent scheme. Fraudsters swindled him out of several tens of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency by hacking his partner's Telegram account.
Another case happened to a man from Odessa. He wanted to buy cryptocurrency on Binance, but lost $32,000.
Criminals are also creating special call centers for their fraudulent schemes. In the summer, a criminal organization was exposed that defrauded EU citizens under the pretext of investing in cryptocurrency for several million hryvnias. They operated through a network of call centers.
