The Kalmyk police are investigating a criminal case of fraud masquerading as brokerage services on a ‘cryptocurrency exchange’. This was said<\/a> by the regional MVD.<\/p>\n

A 56-year-old resident of the Oktyabrsky district found an advertisement for a ‘brokerage firm’ in a popup window of the browser’s news feed.<\/p>\n

Over several months he transferred funds after speaking with people posing as employees of a financial company. One of the scammers’ numbers had international status.<\/p>\n

Subsequently they ceased contacting the ‘investor’.<\/p>\n

In total, the victim transferred more than 1.4 million rubles to the scammers’ accounts.<\/p>\n

Earlier, a resident of Khakassia fell victim to a similar scheme. He handed over to the scammers almost 3 million rubles<\/a>.<\/p>\n
