Officers from the @ Team of the Civil Guard in Fuerteventura have concluded 'Falwork' operation, which led to the investigation of seven individuals and the identification of ten others involved in fraud and money laundering offenses. The scheme centered on fraudulent job offers disseminated through social media.

One of the victims, deceived by this network, transferred over 30,000 euros to bank accounts controlled by the alleged fraudsters. The investigation began after a complaint was filed at the Civil Guard facilities in Corralejo and involved the cooperation of various units of the force to clarify the facts.

The complainant reported encountering a supposed job offer on Telegram, where individuals posed as representatives of a digital promotion company. The proposal involved simple tasks such as liking or commenting on posts, creating a false sense of trust and legitimacy for the victim.

Once trust was gained, the scammers requested the victim to make bank transfers to third parties, promising the return of the money with a commission. This network operated from various locations across the archipelago and the mainland, including Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Barcelona, Ceuta, Ourense, Gijón, and Madrid, using the identity of a fictitious company to recruit victims and move illicit funds.

The efforts of the @ Team in Fuerteventura, specializing in cybercrime, allowed for the identification of the account holders where the transfers were made, quantifying the financial damage at nearly 31,000 euros. The police proceedings have been handed over to the Instruction Section of the Court of First Instance in Puerto del Rosario.
