A case of online fraud is being investigated by the police in Limassol after a complaint by a 66-year-old company owner.
According to the police, yesterday a 66-year-old company owner complained to the Limassol CID that around the end of 2021 he had received a phone call from an unknown woman who presented him with an investment plan in shares. The complainant was convinced that it was a safe investment and sent the amount of 250 euros from his bank account to an online platform indicated by the unknown woman.
According to the complainant's complaint, last Tuesday he again received a call from abroad from an unknown woman who told him that he was receiving profits from his investment and asked him to give her access to his computer and mobile phone so that she could transfer the money to his account.
The complainant was convinced by what the unknown woman conveyed to him and gave her access to his aforementioned devices via the any desk application, with the result that within a few minutes the amount of EUR 88,930 was withdrawn from his bank accounts without his consent.
Then the complainant realised that he had fallen victim to online fraud and a day later he proceeded to file a complaint.
The Limassol CID is investigating the case.
