A local resident contacted the Northern Police Department of the city of Kursk. For about a month, he communicated with "investment consultants" and "invested" 2,700,000 rubles in cryptocurrency, but now he has lost access to funds.

According to the 33-year-old Kuryanin, he came up with the idea of investing in cryptocurrencies after communicating on an Internet platform. Investment consultants convinced the victim that cryptocurrencies are the best way to improve his financial situation, and they will "help" him not to burn out when investing in digital assets.

"The correspondence was followed by a series of rash financial investments. Unknown persons offered the man to make money on the implementation of a large project for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrency. Obsession and haste in time did not give rise to any concerns. On the contrary, the victim strictly followed the actions of unauthorized persons, as a result of which he lost more than 2,700,000 rubles," the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kursk region reported.

Now the police are trying to identify the scammers. A criminal case was initiated under the article on fraud on a particularly large scale.
