Fraudsters, under the pretext of earning money on a crypto exchange, lured more than 43,000 rubles from a resident of Grodno.
The press service of the Internal Affairs Department of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee reported this on Telegram.
How the scammers operated
In early May, a 52-year-old resident of Grodno, looking for additional sources of income, read on one of the platforms about earning money on a crypto exchange.
Having become interested, the Grodno resident contacted the trader (CFD. PARITETINVEST. LIMITED) via Telegram. He promised a good profit.
From May to the end of October, the man transferred more than 43,000 rubles to the “trader”.
As a result, the Grodno resident wanted to withdraw part of the profit, but could not. The "Trader" stopped responding.
The man contacted the police. The Grodno inter-district department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on this fact for fraud on a large scale.
