A resident of Kirov transferred 1.5 million to scammers for the sake of "earning on a cryptocurrency exchange."
A 46-year-old woman from Kirov told the police that after communicating with a new acquaintance, she installed an application for trading on a cryptocurrency exchange and began transferring money to the provided accounts. She received small amounts back twice — 7,000 and 71,000 rubles — supposedly as withdrawn profits. However, the total loss amounted to 1,464,000 rubles, of which 538,000 was transferred from her credit card. When the profits stopped coming, and the transfer amounts only increased, the victim realized she was being deceived and contacted the police. A criminal case has been initiated under part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud on a particularly large scale). The police are identifying the suspects. Scammers have stolen 562 million from Kirov residents through new schemes. A Kirov resident wanted to go on a date but ended up losing 76,000 rubles. "Safe scanning": a family from Kirov lost 6.4 million rubles.
