Another online fraud case shows that scammers never sleep – and sadly, we often let them in. This time, a 49-year-old man fell victim after chatting online with strangers, including a 60-year-old. He lost a total of €24,440.
When they tried to get more money from him – asking for an extra €13,100 to return his investment profits – the 49-year-old did the right thing this time: he quickly told the police and filed a complaint at the Nicosia CID. After coordinated investigations and a police operation, where the complainant helped out, evidence was found against a 60-year-old suspect, who was arrested with a court warrant and taken into custody for investigation.
The Economic Crime Investigation Unit of the Nicosia CID is handling the case, and investigations are still ongoing.
