After a year-long investigation, police in Var, France, arrested a mother and son suspected of carrying out a 'Rip Deal' (fraudulent sales) scam. The scam group posed as agents for wealthy businessmen looking to purchase a villa, luring a wealthy couple from Ramatuelle to Milan and demanding a €1.5 million 'sales fee guarantee' in cryptocurrency. Using hidden cameras, the scammers stole the victims' account details and private keys, quickly draining their funds. The suspects were arrested in Cavalaire-sur-Mer, and their property worth €1.9 million was seized. The suspects, who have a history of fraud, are set to stand trial on September 1, facing charges of organized group fraud. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/news-64028
