Busan, South Korea - Authorities in the Haeundae Police Station of Busan, South Korea, have arrested two individuals in connection with a cryptocurrency investment scam that defrauded a senior citizen of over 5.5 billion won (approximately $4.1 million).

韩国釜山 - 韩国釜山海云台警察局当局逮捕了两名与加密货币投资诈骗有关的个人，该诈骗案诈骗了一名老年人超过 55 亿韩元（约合 410 万美元）。

According to official reports, the victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, was lured into the fraudulent scheme between September 2022 and December 2022. Allegedly, the perpetrators promised lucrative returns on cryptocurrency investments, guaranteeing a 70% profit on a monthly investment of 1 billion won ($760,000).

"It's a boom period for coin (cryptocurrency)," the fraudsters are quoted as saying. "If you invest 1 billion won, I will call it 1.7 billion won a month later."

“这是硬币（加密货币）的繁荣时期，”诈骗者说道。 “如果投资10亿韩元，一个月后我会称之为17亿韩元。”

The victim subsequently deposited 5.5 billion won into the scammers' accounts through six separate transactions. To maintain the illusion of legitimate investments, the fraudsters fabricated balance certificates purporting to represent the victim's crypto portfolio.

受害者随后通过六笔不同的交易将 55 亿韩元存入诈骗者的账户。为了维持合法投资的假象，欺诈者伪造了余额证书，声称代表受害者的加密货币投资组合。

During the course of the scam, the victim was presented with forged balance sheets showcasing substantial cryptocurrency holdings and real estate contracts. However, investigations by the South Korean police revealed that none of the victim's funds were actually invested in any crypto trading accounts, despite the fake balance sheet indicating a value of 20 billion won ($15.2 million).

在诈骗过程中，受害者收到了伪造的资产负债表，其中显示了大量的加密货币持有量和房地产合同。然而，韩国警方的调查显示，尽管虚假资产负债表显示价值 200 亿韩元（1520 万美元），但受害者的资金实际上没有投资于任何加密货币交易账户。

While the authorities have swiftly apprehended the suspects, the status of the stolen funds remains uncertain. The police have disclosed no information regarding the recovery of the victim's assets.

尽管当局迅速逮捕了嫌疑人，但被盗资金的状况仍不确定。警方没有透露有关追回受害人资产的任何信息。

This incident underscores the prevalence of cryptocurrency-related scams, particularly targeting vulnerable populations like senior citizens. It is crucial for investors to exercise caution when considering crypto investments and to thoroughly research any potential investment opportunities before committing any funds.
