According to local press information, it would be an international gang that deceived many people who wanted to invest investing is when you put money in a financial scheme with the intent of making a gain. in crypto, with amounts ranging from $4 million pesos (about USD $ 4,600) to $ 60 million pesos (more than USD $ 70 thousand).

The head of the La Serena Economic Crimes Brigade, Carlos Paz, said that first received a complaint that served to make comparison with other regions. There they realized that the crime was repeated in different cities with similar characteristics.

“We are in an advanced stage of investigation and it has been established that those affected are contacted by foreign numbers, to this is added that those who call them are subjects who seem to find it difficult to speak Spanish and the IPs they use are foreign”, he detailed and added:

“It is presumed to be an international gang that, taking advantage of the Chilean economy, attacked the country. We are in progress to establish more affected and the modus operandi to individualize the band”.

They took advantage of solvency

According to the research of the PDI, One of the things that attracted the criminals was the knowledge that a large part of the Chilean citizenry had a certain economic solvency, since they had received money from different sources, such as withdrawals from the AFP (financial institutions that hold retirement money), as well as government handouts resulting from the pandemic. (IFE Universal).

Many Chileans wanted to invest that money, and that is where the scammers acted to deceive them, under the promise that they would receive a great return.

“We already have complaints in the region and it was massified nationally. They created a platform a place to buy, sell and store cryptocurrency to deceive people.” Paz said.

The victims, observing that their money increased, made more transfers to different accounts that the platform provided, but in the end they ended up losing everything they had invested.

More of the fakecoins

According to the information there are several fakecoins that have been entering the Chilean market. To refer to them, he makes use of the classification made by the website Fakecoins.org. There they divide the types of crypto scams by themes:
