Polícia desmantela esquema de pirâmide financeira após prejuízo de R$ 100 mil | Balanço Geral DF

The Civil Police of the Federal District dismantled a criminal organization suspected of carrying out scams through an online financial pyramid scheme. The investigation began after a businesswoman from the Federal District reported a loss of approximately R$ 100,000 after investing in a fake platform that promised high returns. According to the police, the criminals used social engineering techniques to convince victims to install remote access programs on their devices and make successive deposits. When they tried to withdraw the money, they were induced to make new deposits and then lost access to the platform. The funds were transferred to third-party accounts, shell companies, and converted into cryptocurrencies to hinder tracking. Search and seizure warrants were executed in Santa Maria (RS) and Manaus (AM). The Civil Police reported that investigations are continuing to identify other members of the group and advises the public to verify the credibility of platforms before making any investment. #RECORD #RecordBrasília
