“It was alleged that the accused have been impersonating as Government Officials of Canada, utilizing this facade to execute their fraudulent activities.
“Their modus operandi involved providing fake technical support consultation to unsuspecting victims and then coercing them into transferring cryptocurrency funds. These ill-gotten cryptocurrency assets were subsequently routed through multiple crypto wallets, ultimately ending up in the perpetrators’ own crypto accounts,” said the official.
Further investigation in the case was on, the official added.
