The authorities of Italy and Albania uncovered a fraudulent scheme with crypto investments According to preliminary data, the scheme brought in €15 million (~$16 million) to the organized crime group. The call center was based in Tirana.
The attackers contacted the victims by phone using a VPN and unidentifiable virtual numbers and urged them to open an account on an unnamed platform.
People were promised quick returns with a small initial investment in “zero risk” cryptocurrencies. In the future, the scammers persuaded the victims to increase investments, used software for remote access to a computer, and changed account data.
