Group of scammers
|
The Bac Kan City Police have reported that recently, numerous residents of Bac Kan Province and other provinces have fallen victim to this criminal group and suffered property loss.
On August 28, 2024, the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention of Bac Kan Provincial Police coordinated with their counterpart in Hung Yen Province and the police of Nghia Tru and Long Hung communes, Van Giang district, Hung Yen province to inspect and discover the group residing in two luxury apartments in Vinhome Ocean Park 2 urban area, located in the territory of Nghia Tru and Long Hung communes, Van Giang district, Hung Yen province.
During the investigation, the Bac Kan City Police Investigation Agency clarified that to make financial investments on the website https://xfinex.net, investors need to create an account and use real money to purchase USDT, a form of cryptocurrency. Investors can then make predictions about the increase or decrease in the value of the USDT. If their predictions are correct, they will earn profits according to the exchange rate offered by the website. However, if their predictions are incorrect, they will lose the entire amount invested in that transaction.
Taking advantage of people’s lack of understanding of cryptocurrency investment, this group created and disseminated clips and images of successful trades and profits made on https://xfinex.net across social media platforms such as Facebook, Tiktok, and Zalo. Enticed by the apparent ease of winning, many individuals transferred money to these scammers to trade on their behalf. Initially, the group manipulated the results to show wins to encourage continued investment. However, they eventually revealed their true colors by providing false information about losses and appropriating the remaining funds.
