A resident of the Novgorod region lost 1.2 million rubles in yet another cryptocurrency scam.
The fake cryptocurrency exchange defrauded the victim of large sums for three months. In total, the Russian transferred 1.2 million rubles to the accounts indicated by the “financial consultant.”
When he wanted to take profits and withdraw money, the platform consultant convinced him to pay another 260,000 rubles in taxes and insurance fees. After payment, the connection with the crypto platform was interrupted, and the victim contacted the local police to report fraud.
Similar cases have become more frequent in Russia. In the first half of the year, 78 fake financial companies were identified in the Central region alone, 27 of which turned out to be financial pyramids.
