Krasnoyarsk transferred to fraudsters almost 4 million rubles in the hope of making money on investments

In Krasnoyarsk, a 61-year-old man decided to earn extra money on investments and became a victim of major fraud. This was told in the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the region.

Krasnoyari stumbled on the Internet to advertising high -profit investments on the Internet, and then contacted the organization’s employees in one of the messengers. The scammers wiped themselves into confidence in a man and invited him to make a small contribution of 10 thousand rubles. After the victim received 26 thousand rubles to the expense, he decided to “play in a circular” and transferred 3.7 million rubles to the attackers. However, this time he did not succeed in withdrawing money, representatives of the investment platform simply stopped in touch.

Realizing that he was a victim of a crime, the victim filed a statement to the police. ATS officers installed one of the phone numbers used to receive money. The prompt work made it possible to block this account and return 400 thousand rubles to the legal owner.

“The man expressed gratitude to the police for professional and coordinated actions,” law enforcement officers said.

The police warn: be vigilant and do not succumb to the tricks of cyber abusions! Remember that the transfer of money to accounts or phones of strangers, as well as investments in dubious projects promising high profitability are associated with high risk. Do not move on suspicious links and do not trust your savings to unverified persons.
