Cryptocurrency scammers deceived a Ukrainian out of a million hryvnia

Cryptocurrency scammers deceived a Ukrainian out of a million hryvnia

The large-scale crypto scam would not have become known to the general public if it had not been for the petition to the Uzhgorod District Court for temporary access to things and documents of persons who received one million hryvnia through fraud.

This is how the human world works. The development and establishment of any field of activity is accompanied by the emergence of scammers who want to make money on gullible citizens who are not armed with knowledge of the issue. The crypto industry is no exception. Law enforcement agencies of Ukraine are trying to uncover another cryptocurrency scam without delay.

A resident of Uzhgorod became a victim of criminals (or his own stupidity?). The desire to become a participant in the cryptocurrency industry and acquire Bitcoin played a cruel joke on the Ukrainian. By prior agreement, the man transferred 1 million hryvnia ($38.6 thousand) to the Privat Bank card account in exchange for which he was to receive bitcoins. As a result, the payer did not receive the cryptocurrency and his own transferred funds also could not be returned. 

By contacting the police, the victim was able to provide supporting documents regarding the transfer of funds and evidence of a preliminary agreement to receive cryptocurrency in exchange for funds. This allowed the police to open a criminal case and petition the court. The court granted the investigator permission to temporarily access the perpetrators' belongings and documents, namely the mobile operator's information.  This decision was entered into the Unified State Register of Court Decisions. Investigative actions are ongoing.
