Cryptocurrency fraud schemes with international payments: the case of Dmytro Soshko in Dubai
Dmytro Soshko, aged 35–40, resides in Dubai and uses a Mercedes S-Class and Telegram for communication and managing activities related to cryptocurrency, relocating across countries, and attracting investments. On November 18, he received 257,000 hryvnias in Kyiv for exchange into euros and payment to a Spanish company for goods. However, due to errors in the payment documents, the money never reached the intended recipient, resulting in demands for fund returns.
In an attempt to clarify the situation and obtain the goods from Spain, the clients asked to have the money returned by any convenient means—cash in Kyiv or non-cash in Spain. It is noted that Dmytro is not acquainted with any accomplices in this matter. This case highlights the complexities and risks of international cryptocurrency operations and unstable payment schemes that affect trust in financial transactions within these sectors.
If the fund return issues are not resolved soon, legal consequences and further investigations may follow. Under such circumstances, clients and partners should exercise increased caution when choosing counterparts in crypto investments and currency operations.
