Major cyberfraud operation uncovered in La Paz
Police disclose a large‑scale virtual pyramid scheme app that defrauded at least hundreds of people in La Paz.
Authorities in La Paz have uncovered a major cyber‑dependent fraud operation built around a mobile application designed to lure users into a pyramid‑style investment scheme. Investigators estimate that at least several hundred people in La Paz were defrauded as the app operators collected ever‑larger deposits before removing the application from stores and disappearing. The operation circumvented government controls and alerts, and police are now pursuing the app’s creators, who are suspected of planning to abscond once maximum deposits had been collected. The cybercrime unit urges victims to report to the public prosecutor’s office.
