Action Fraud, a British police fraud squad, said the past months had seen an upsurge in fraudulent activities promoted by fraudsters using fake projects on how to get rich quickly.
The fraudsters offer promises to their victims of high financial returns within 24 hours, but they must first be charged for these profits and then disappear as soon as they are received.
A total of 356 cases of fraud and loss of funds have been reported over the past five months.
The total money lost by this fraud was more than £ 3 million, and this figure is expected to rise later as some victims have not reported the money they lost.
