Car theft by paying fake cryptocurrency

According to the head of FATA police in Greater Tehran, the accused persons, after seeing the advertisements for the sale of cars in Divar and Shipour, called the sellers and offered to pay the price of the car through digital currency, gaining their trust. Sellers trusting the claims of buyers and not knowing about the mechanism of cryptocurrencies, provided the car to them.

He added: After checking their digital wallets, the losers realized that the received cryptocurrencies were worthless, and in fact, their cars were stolen with fake payments.

This police official said: After filing the complaints, FATA police experts started their specialized investigation and using scientific and experimental methods, they identified the identity of the accused. These 2 people were arrested in one of the southern areas of Tehran and transferred to FATA police after going through legal procedures.
