A scammer wanted to get rich At 3 million rubles in a crypto exchanger
Internet fraudsters pay attention to cryptocurrency
Financial fraudsters are interested in operations with cryptocurrency. The other day BitCluster, a cryptocurrency exchange company, managed to prevent a large amount of theft.
The attacker decided to use the scheme of fraud with the substitution of points by commas - in Russian and in English they are used differently for dividing the orders of numbers and radically changing the number. Usually attackers
try to divert the attention of the victim so that she does not pay attention to the seemingly small difference in signs.
A client turned to BitCluster and asked
to exchange USD 50,000 for rubles. USDT, or Tether, is a cryptocurrency supported by the US dollar; its exchange rate is now approximately 63 rubles per 1 tether.
The fraudster confirmed that he has the said amount by sending a screenshot of his account in USDT. The course was
fixed and the client was given the details for the transfer of cryptocurrency. In response, he sent a screenshot about the transfer, most likely a fake.
Then the client began to exert psychological pressure on the operator and ask him to transfer money to him as soon as possible. In the exchange account of the company appeared
information about the beginning of the transaction in 50,007 USDT. The employee prepared for the translation, but at the last moment he noticed that instead of a full stop after 50 there is a comma.
“Until the transaction is fully reflected on the stock exchange, we do not see the full amount of its balance sheet, which is why the fraudster so insisted on the earliest transfer of money. The
transaction amount on the stock exchange is prescribed with a dot separating orders of numbers. Obviously, this person was well acquainted with the peculiarities of cryptocurrency exchange, he understood that 50.007
looks like 50.007 to the human eye, and sent only 50 instead of 50 thousand. Director of Business Development, BitCluster.
Experts of the exchanger note that the increase in the number of attempts of fraudulent actions is observed by the proliferation of operations with cryptocurrency and the growing interest in it. Among them - the creation of fake
applications, wallets, fake cloud mining, network marketing on cryptocurrency and phishing letters about winning Bitcoins. As in any financial sector, only trusted players should be trusted in this market.
