The General Police Inspectorate has identified criminal groups that obtain financial means by deception

Criminal groups, specialised in obtaining financial means by deception, under the pretext of depositing investments in cryptocurrencies, or currency, have been identified by the General Police Inspectorate.

Investigating police found that sponsored ads were published on social networks that communicated the possibility of obtaining very high incomes in quick terms.

Criminals collect victims' personal information, then call the victim and influence them to transfer money to foreign accounts through fast payment systems.

Following the acquisition of financial sources, personal accounts are created on fictitious web pages. With the accumulation of an income that exceeds the amounts deposited 4-10 times, the suspects additionally request the payment of some invented taxes.

Police advise citizens to avoid registering and completing online surveys distributed through social media platforms that promise earnings.
