Nine employees from fraudulent call centers have been arrested for stealing about 30 million rubles from Serbs.
The victims transferred money to the accounts of the organizers of the criminal business.
Call center employees were involved in an international fraud scheme, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs Irina Volk reported on her Telegram channel.
The criminals organized the activities of several call centers with 500 work places in the capital.
The hired employees convinced foreigners to invest their savings in cryptocurrency.
The victims were asked to transfer money to accounts controlled by the fraudsters.
The stolen money was apparently then sent to third parties.
During the investigation, nine employees were detained on suspicion of fraud.
As it turned out, the victims suffered total damages of about 30 million rubles.
