A 46-year-old woman in Kursk, Russia, transferred 28 million rubles to scammers after being misled by a "high-yield cryptocurrency investment" scam. According to police, the scam lasted about a year. The suspects approached the victim through messaging apps, claiming to reside in Arab countries, and used the lure of investing in cryptocurrencies and assistance with relocating abroad to coax her into downloading related apps and making continuous transfers. The victim sold three properties, cars, and gold bars, and even borrowed money to fund the scheme. Eventually, after exhausting her funds, the scammers disappeared. (Bitsmedia)
