Investment in a fake cryptocurrency exchange.

The incident occurred on the last Sunday of April. A 59-year-old man reported to the police in Bydgoszcz, informing that he had fallen victim to an investment scam. From the victim's account, it was clear that while browsing the internet, he stumbled upon an advertisement for an investment platform dealing with cryptocurrency trading. He clicked on the link, filled out a form, and then was contacted by a person claiming to be a consultant.

The entire scheme started over the phone. The perpetrators connected with the 59-year-old, and then step by step instructed him on how to invest and where to transfer money. Unfortunately, at the same time, the victim installed a program that allowed the scammers remote access to his computer.

Continuing the whole process, the scammers urged the man to log into his bank accounts. Suddenly, they took over those accounts and made two transfers totaling 130 thousand zlotys.
