[Legacy360]

The St. Petersburg police closed a cryptocurrency exchanger belonging to an organized group of scammers. They stole money from bank cards and transferred it into bitcoins.
Fraudsters under the guise of bank employees phoned citizens and convinced them to transfer money to bank cards issued for dummy persons. Money was cashed through ATMs and transferred to bitcoin exchanges.
10 members of the criminal group have been identified. Seven of them were detained in Yalta, Kaliningrad, Ulan-Ude, Khabarovsk and St. Petersburg.
The police received statements from at least 15 victims who transferred more than 2 million rubles to the fraudsters.
To cover up their activities, the attackers launched a cryptocurrency exchanger. The police identified organizers, coordinators and operators of an underground office located in a business center on the Moika River embankment.
