A resident of Lubusz lost over PLN 250,000 after being fooled by a false offer to invest money in shares of an aircraft manufacturing company, Senior Asp. Tomasz Bartos from the District Police Headquarters in Strzelce Krajeńskie reported on Friday.
A resident of the Strzelce-Drezdenko district found an offer on the Internet that guaranteed a sure and quick profit. Unaware of the scam, he gave the fraudsters his data.
“False brokers, after contacting the man, extorted several payments from him, in total over PLN 250,000. There is no profit, and the money is gone,” said Senior Asp. Bartos.
He added that alleged investment platforms present virtual accounts showing large profits. This encourages further deposits, taking loans and credits, but when investors want to withdraw their money, it turns out that it is not possible.

“Once again, we appeal to carefully verify who we entrust our savings to. Investing can be safe, but only in a trusted institution. In the case of such frauds, limited trust is the most important thing,” noted Senior Asp. Bartos. (PAP)
