An online acquaintance turned into loans and a loss of 6 million for a resident of Kirov.
A 30-year-old resident of the regional center reported to the police about remote fraud on a particularly large scale. The woman stated that back in February, she began communicating with a young man on an online dating service.
The romantic correspondence grew into an offer to help with additional earnings. The interlocutor spoke about the possibility of earning income from cryptocurrency trading. The resident of Kirov became interested.
Following the instructions of her new acquaintance, the woman took out a bank loan and borrowed several amounts from acquaintances. She transferred this money according to the dictated details of cryptocurrency wallets—supposedly for making transactions. The interlocutor reported profits, and to increase them, insisted on depositing even more funds.
However, after two months, she had not received any income. The resident of Kirov realized that she was being deceived.
An investigator from the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Kirov has initiated a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud).
The press service of the agency reminds: Do not trust your funds to strangers, do not transfer or give money according to their instructions. Offers of quick earnings with minimal effort are a scam. Only specialists in these fields can earn from stock trading, investments, and cryptocurrency.
