Online dating turned into a loss of 2.3 million rubles for Lipchanka

A resident of Lipetsk lost a large sum, believing a virtual friend who promised to help earn on investments. According to police, a woman born in 1976 met a man on the Internet in the summer.

A new acquaintance convinced Lipchansk that special knowledge is not needed to obtain high profits. At first, she transferred 21 thousand rubles and soon was able to withdraw a small amount. Then the woman invested another 475 thousand rubles and also received part of the money back. Successful operations convinced her to continue.

Later, the Lipchanka transferred to an investment account 400 thousand rubles taken from a credit card. When the funds could not be withdrawn, unknown people demanded to pay for insurance. The woman borrowed from loved ones about 470 thousand rubles, and then issued another loan for 580 thousand. She sent the money according to the instructions of the interlocutors.

After that, the fraudsters continued to demand transfers under new pretexts. Lipchanka suspected fraud and went to the police. The total damage, according to police, amounted to about 2.3 million rubles.
