A 70-year-old resident of Yakutsk lost 1.7 million rubles on fake cryptocurrency trading. This is reported by the local Ministry of Internal Affairs.
According to the victim, in August she received a call from an unknown person who introduced himself as an employee of the brokerage company Pineda International. He offered to make money by selling stocks, cryptocurrencies and gold. The pseudo broker convinced the pensioner to open a deposit and deposit 15,000 rubles into the account.
On the same day, an alleged analyst of the company contacted the pensioner and offered to register in the Skype application in order to supervise the processes of all “trading on the stock exchange” through it. During the calls, the interlocutor did not show his face, but the Russian woman continued to follow his instructions. She sent various amounts from her own savings, and also took out additional loans.
For two months, the Yakut woman transferred 1.7 million rubles to unknown accounts. She could not withdraw money on her own. After that, the attackers stopped communicating.
The police are checking this fact.
Earlier, ForkLog reported that a painter from Togliatti gave 2 million rubles to cryptocurrency scammers.
