Sevastopol residents continue to distribute money to fraudsters. This time the “catch” of the swindlers amounted to 3.5 million rubles

So, Sevastopol, a 75-year-old pensioner decided to prove that he is not only a confident user of social networks and Internet space, but also easily understands the wisdom of crypto investment. For several months, according to the instructions of the “specialist”, whom he met in the virtual space, put his savings in electronic currency. Naturally, the expectations of an elderly crypto investor were not justified and instead of a large profit, he lost his 2.9 million rubles-said in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Sevastopol.

According to a similar scheme, the local 24-year-old specialist in technical support invested their 107 thousand rubles.

The “extension” of the mobile communications contract cost 410 thousand rubles to the 20-year-old seller-consultant of the store. First, scammers learned from the girl a secret code from SMS messages, and then convinced them to transfer their savings to “safe” accounts.

The fourth victim was the 47-year-old accountant of the enterprise, who wanted to purchase a wheelchair on an ad on the Internet, dictated to scammers the complete data of her bank card and immediately lost 174 thousand rubles.

The police of Sevastopol reminds citizens that the proposals to quickly get high profits with the help of investment are scammers’ tricks!
