Abakan resident lost 5 million rubles in an attempt to make money on cryptocurrencies

A young Abakan resident trusted a certain "trade 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 almost 5 million rubles more. To do this, the Abakan resident took out loans. The victim transferred the 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 trust. However, then the funds stopped coming - the "trade manager" found various reasons to delay payments, and then completely stopped communicating. The police opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 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.
