Grand Pacific Trade Call Center Scam Newsletter No. 46

Dear Clients,

While the supplementary investigation in the Grand Pacific Trade case is ongoing, we would like to give you an insight into what typically happens to funds after they reach the fraudsters’ accounts.

 Rapid transfers to multiple accounts
As soon as funds arrive, they are moved within hours or days to other accounts — often in different countries — to make tracing more difficult.

 Use of cryptocurrencies and exchanges
A significant portion is converted into cryptocurrencies via multiple exchanges, further obscuring the trail, especially if unregulated platforms are used.

 Mixing with other transactions
Funds are often pooled with other deposits (from other scams) to break the direct link to the original source.

 Reintroduction into “legal” channels
Once sufficiently “laundered,” the money is sent to accounts of seemingly legitimate companies, creating the appearance of legal origin.

It is important to note — while the path of the money may be complex and international, it is not irretrievably lost. Modern forensic methods and international cooperation make it possible to trace these flows and connect the dots to the individuals involved.
This is why every proof of payment or communication with the perpetrators is extremely valuable and can significantly help in the case.

If you have received any message, instruction, or payment request related to Grand Pacific Trade after your initial deposit, please forward it to us. Such evidence may be crucial in linking the actors in this network.

Kind regards,
Attorney Zoran Miljaković
