Kirovchanka lost more than 2 million rubles, believing in "earnings" on the currency exchange

      According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kirov region, in February, a pen pal contacted a resident of Kirov on Telegram. She offered the Kirov resident to earn money on the currency exchange. The woman, who had no experience in the financial sector, agreed to participate in the bidding and made an initial deposit of $ 300. Later, on the instructions of the "curator of the exchange", she regularly transferred funds to various accounts, believing that the money was coming to her investment wallet.

      In just two months, Kirovchanka made more than 30 transfers, including those involving credit and borrowed funds. The total amount of losses amounted to more than 2 million rubles.

      Later, she was persuaded to participate in alleged collective transfers: 416 thousand rubles were credited to her account from other people, which she also redirected to the "curator". When the woman tried to withdraw her funds, it turned out to be impossible. Under the guise of support staff, they began demanding payment of "taxes" and "fines" from her. Only then did the Kirov resident realize that she had become a victim of fraud and contacted the police.

      A criminal case has been opened on this fact, and an investigation is underway.

      The police remind you not to blindly trust unfamiliar people and participate in high-risk financial transactions without the necessary knowledge.
