In Kursk, a 32-year-old bank employee transferred 1.4 million rubles to fraudsters, responding to a tempting offer to earn money on "likes".
The girl received a message in a messenger offering her to do a simple job - to "like" products, links to which were sent by a personal manager. Accepting the offer, she joined a group and registered on the specified website, where all transactions and imaginary profits were displayed in her personal account. For the first five likes, she was paid 300 rubles, which convinced her of the scheme's operability.
Soon, the curator demanded additional amounts for specific goods to increase income. When a profit of 700 thousand rubles was displayed in her personal account, the woman tried to withdraw the funds, but the support service notified her of the account freeze and the need to deposit 250 thousand rubles.
Hoping to get her money back, the employee sought legal assistance through a specialized website and paid 60 thousand rubles for the services of a so-called lawyer. The "lawyer" reported on the allegedly won procedure and mentioned the amount of 2.5 million rubles, but demanded additional remuneration for processing the transaction, after which the girl made several transfers for several hundred thousand rubles.
Desperate to get her funds back, the victim turned to the police. Law enforcement agencies remind that attempts to earn money on unknown Internet platforms can lead to serious financial losses.
