Many citizens are actively improving financial literacy and exploring the world of digital opportunities. Legal platforms for the sale of virtual currency are gaining momentum and attracting new investors. However, here lies an insidious trap. Under the guise of a "legitimate and honest" crypto exchange, scammers often hide on the network, who are only interested in your trust and money.
It is because of the popularity of investing in cryptocurrency that in May of this year, a 38-year-old man registered on a well-known digital asset exchange. Already in June, an experienced "trader" contacted him on Facebook, who offered to earn faster and more. She told about another reliable blockchain system that will allow you to double your invested capital, but for this you need to follow certain recommendations.
Without hesitation, the investor agreed to try his hand at trading and waited for further instructions. After some time, the alleged financial manager started actively working with the client: she sent him links to specialized sites where you need to create a personal account. Further, a new pseudo-consultant said that you need to buy as much cryptocurrency as possible on the exchange where the Minsk resident was previously registered, and then transfer the assets to a new digital platform. The rest of the manipulations with tokens were taken over by the "professionals" – the man only observed an impressive increase in the currency account.
Since the beginning of July, the owner of a passive business has already invested more than 30 thousand rubles in virtual assets. He was ready for a serious offer from his personal manager – to participate in the purchase of promising shares. However, the transaction execution failed. Allegedly, an employee of an insurance company serving a financial platform stated that the man enters incorrect data, which is why the account is forcibly blocked. To correct the situation, you need to transfer the same amount that is available on the account.
The Minsk resident tried to solve the situation with "competent" traders, but they insisted that there was no other way to return the money and you need to pay for the so-called unblocking of your personal account. After considering the good advice, he came to the conclusion that he had fallen for the bait of scammers.
Thus, in just a few days, a resident of the capital transferred more than 35 thousand rubles to scammers, most of which are credit funds.
The Pervomaisky (Minsk) district Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Part 3 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a large scale). Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. Currently, investigative actions and operational-search measures are being carried out aimed at identifying the perpetrators of this crime.
The criminal investigation continues.
