Deception - Scam artists stole vast sums from numerous investors.
The investigations have been handed over to the criminal police. These fraudsters lure potential victims onto highly professional-looking websites and social media platforms, promising a fast and easy way to earn large sums of money through investments. However, the money paid is not actually invested but rather transferred overseas by the fraudsters. As a result, the likelihood of victims getting their money back is extremely slim.
