In Yekaterinburg, a third-grader transferred 430 thousand from his father's card to scammers.
A local resident contacted Police Department No. 4, reporting that his 9‑year‑old son had transferred more than 400,000 rubles via the banking app on his phone. This was reported by the press group of the Yekaterinburg police department.
During the investigation, police found that the schoolboy had received a message in a messaging app inviting him to take part in a contest and solve a rebus that hid a certain well‑known person. After the boy answered, he was notified that he had won. As the "organizers" explained to him, the prize could not be transferred to a minor's card. The boy was offered to send it to one of his parents' accounts. To receive the money, the unknowns asked him for the 16 digits of his bank card and personal data. But the boy got scared and did not complete the procedure.
The fraudsters then contacted the child again. They said that because he had interrupted the data transmission they had suffered an expensive "server malfunction," and he had to pay a fine. The frightened schoolboy said he had no money. He was told to take his father's phone and transfer the required amount.
When the funds in the accounts were exhausted, the perpetrators asked him to take out a loan. At that point the boy decided to wake his parents. The total loss amounted to 430,000 rubles. A criminal case has been opened on charges of "fraud."
