How do internet scammers work?
One of the most common methods of extorting money from unaware Internet users is the so-called "broker fraud". Cybercriminals advertise, among others, on social networking sites, they offer quick and large profits, e.g. by encouraging people to invest in shares of well-known companies or cryptocurrencies.
The investor logs in to the fake platform and then receives a phone call from a consultant who advises how to transfer money in order to achieve large profits or instructs how to install special software on the computer that is supposed to support the investing process. Unfortunately, such a program is a way to take control of the device and gain access to your bank account. Then it is "cleared" and the investor, tempted by quick earnings, is deprived of his savings.
It is also very common to obtain personal data, which cyber fraudsters then use for various purposes, e.g. extorting credits/loans, making purchases at your expense or impersonating you, e.g. on FOREX markets.
Effect? Serious financial and personal consequences, even civil or legal liability. To become a victim of such a fraud, all it takes is a little - usually providing the cybercriminal with a scan or photo of your ID card.
Therefore, if you have fallen victim to online fraud, do not wait and do not act on your own.
Turn your case to professionals - the sooner you do it, the greater the chances of recovering the extorted money and punishing the fraudster!
