A woman, born in 1970, contacted the Vilnius Regional Police Department on Monday to report multiple instances of financial fraud. She alleged that in February 2025, she was defrauded of 10,000 euros by unidentified individuals operating through an online investment platform. The reported pattern of deception continued a year later.
In February 2026, the woman was allegedly targeted again by scammers online. These individuals claimed they could help her recover the funds she had previously lost through investment schemes, ultimately defrauding her of an additional 8,360 euros. The total documented loss associated with these incidents amounts to 18,360 euros.
She provided the police with details regarding three distinct types of scams, noting that one particular method of deception proved especially difficult to navigate. The initial report detailing these losses was made to the local police authorities. Furthermore, on Monday, the department received a separate report concerning a different woman, indicating that the day brought multiple cases of reported financial misconduct to the Vilnius police.
The investigation centers on identifying the perpetrators behind these sophisticated online investment frauds.
