🇵🇾 Cryptocurrency scams and Ponzi schemes are on the rise in Paraguay, with over 4 billion funneled through fraudulent platforms between 2023 and 2024! Diosnel Alarcon, head of the cybercrime department, highlights that social networks and exchange platforms play a crucial role in these schemes. Victims are lured in by promises of high returns, only to find themselves scammed after months of waiting. These scams often use fake platforms and middlemen to manage fraudulent accounts, making it difficult for victims to recover their funds. While crypto transactions are traceable, bureaucratic hurdles can complicate recovery efforts. Alarcon emphasizes the importance of quick reporting to help authorities combat these operations.
