170 uncovered fraud

Fraud uncovered - €170.000
#1
Radio Sintonia:

The Team of the island of Lanzarote, within the framework of the investigation carried out between the months of March and June of this year, identified 4 people alleged perpetrators of the criminal act, three men and a woman with residence in Spain and France aged between 35 and 45 years, without a Police record, for a crime of fraud, having deceived with false advertising a person with habitual residence in Lanzarote, to make different bank transfers as an investment in cryptocurrencies.

Occurrence of the facts
The Civil Guard was aware as a result of a complaint filed last March, by a man in dependencies of the National Police of Arrecife, which was later transferred to the Main Post of Tías, where the complainant reported being the victim of a technological scam, in which he referred to having been interested in the investment of cryptocurrencies, contacting a supposed broker who would be in charge of making your investment profitable, which was initially 170,000 euros.
Therefore, the victim proceeded to make various bank transfers over a period of three months, entering amounts of Money ranging between 3,000 euros and 57,000 euros, until reaching the total capital mentioned, being the injured a person with high purchasing power.
Also, once the corresponding transfers were made in favor of the alleged broker in different bank accounts, all communications ceased, the victim realizing at that time that it was a fraud.

Initiation and development of research
The Civil Guard during the course of the investigation carried out by the Lanzarote Team, carried out the appropriate Police investigations and the various steps to clarify the facts that occurred, among them, proceeded to identify all the people involved as the beneficiaries of the current accounts of destination of the defrauded capital, meaning that these accounts were opened in person. Also note that three of these people are responsible for companies related to the cryptocurrency market.
Fake brokers
Fake brokers pretend to be specialists in cryptocurrency investments and capture their victims through misleading advertising.
For a long time, a manager contacts the client by phone almost daily to get intimate on a personal level, while making them see the supposed profits they are getting thanks to their first investment, but also to highlight what they could earn if they raised their funds.
All this can be captured from applications manipulated by the Cyberfraudster, which are not real.
In this way they convince investors to make transfers, since they fully trust the business proposed by their trusted brokers.
The moment the investor wants to withdraw his profits, he starts the problems with different excuses. Among them they ask them to pay taxes to get more transfers, or directly indicate that the market has changed and they have lost all their Money.

After indicating that they have lost all their Money, another broker contacts the citizen, who tells him that he will help him recover what he lost with new investments, entering a spiral of losses until "burning" the account.
For all these reasons, the proceedings were made available to the Arrecife Guard Court
