According to data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which RIA Novosti has reviewed, the largest number of cases of financial fraud are related to investment schemes.
Criminals actively use instant messengers and specialized online communities to find potential victims. They pose as experienced traders or financial consultants, gradually gaining the trust of their victims.
To create the appearance of honesty, scammers may allow you to withdraw a small amount of money - usually a few thousand rubles. However, this is only part of the scheme, designed to convince a person of the reliability of the offer. In fact, all transactions take place on fake platforms, and the promised income exists only on paper.
Earlier it was reported that scammers deceived a Russian woman out of half a million through a new messenger.
