COMPUTER-RELATED FRAUD - POSTING MONEY WITH FALSE REPRESENTATIONS

 


29/10/20

The Limassol Crime Detection Department is investigating a case of computer-related fraud and the posting of money with false representations.

According to a complaint made to the Police by a female resident of Limassol, the latter in April 2020 received several emails from an unknown person, who presented her as a financial director and convinced her to invest in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), in various electronic funds.

The complainant, in May 2020, sent through her bank account to a specific account indicated to her the sum of €15,000 and her money was converted into Bitcoin.  In June and July 2020, the complainant sent a further €5,440 converted to Bitcoin. The unidentified person guided the complainant and sent her Bitcoin to another website, resulting in her losing control of the path of her cryptocurrencies.  The complainant tried several times to gain control over her electronic wallet, but did not succeed, finding that she had been the victim of online fraud.

The Limassol T.E.O. continues the examinations.
