The perpetrators allegedly contacted the 41-year-old Afghan via an online messenger service and persuaded him to make crypto investments on a fraudulent website. He was promised high profits in the process. Ultimately, he lost a four-digit amount to the scammers in the process. However, cybercrime investigators are now said to have caught on to them.
