A resident of the Magadan region lost 10 million rubles due to scammers

In Magadan, investigators opened a criminal case under the article “fraud committed on a large scale” after an appeal from a local resident who transferred 10 million rubles to false brokers. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Magadan Region.

“For several months, the false broker, using a video call, controlled the investments of the Kolyma resident, who constantly replenished his supposed account,” the statement said.

The cyber fraudster also told the victim that before withdrawing “assets” he needed to pay a “tax” – that’s 365 thousand rubles. After all the operations, the attackers stopped communicating.

Previously Public News Service wrotethat Russians began to receive calls from scammers through applications that contain private advertisements.

The potential victim believes that the buyer is talking to him and makes contact.
