A 27-year-old girl from Chania was the victim of a scam by a sophisticated scammer who saw “wings” worth 150,000 euros from her account.

The incident occurred in March last year, when a criminal, posing as an investor, convinced the girl that he was the right person to help her invest in cryptocurrencies.

Unfortunately, the girl was persuaded, as a result of which she contributed the amount of 150,000 euros in three installments. As it turned out, the money disappeared, as did the experienced cryptocurrency investor.

At the end of January, the girl realized that she had become a victim of fraud, and reported the incident to the police, who were investigating the case.
