A 36-year-old man fell victim to internet fraud after transferring money to a fake profile.
The man reported the incident to Limassol police, stating he lost a substantial amount of money. He had been communicating with an unknown individual who claimed to be interested in purchasing high-value cryptocurrencies.
On Wednesday, after they reached an agreement, the man was asked to transfer a small sum to verify the transaction. Later, the individual provided him with a QR code to scan, allegedly to complete the transaction.
However, upon scanning the code, the man discovered that all the funds had been drained from his account.
