More than $40,000 and €24,000: in Yekaterinburg, a pensioner gave scammers more than 21 million rubles.
In Yekaterinburg, a 66-year-old pensioner handed over more than 21 million rubles of her savings to fraudsters at the instruction of an 'FSB officer'.
According to the victim, in early November she received a video message on a messenger app allegedly from a 'bank employee', in which the 'specialist' informed the subscriber of an upcoming call from a 'representative of the FSB'. A 'law enforcement officer' then contacted the woman and said that fraudulent actions were being carried out against her and that all her available funds needed to be transferred to 'secure accounts'. To "save" her savings, following the 'handler's' instructions the victim cashed 15,355,000 rubles, $13,670 and €24,500, took another $30,000 from her husband's safe and handed the money to 'couriers'. The total amount of damage amounted to 21,237,000 rubles. Only later did she realize she had been a victim of fraudsters.
"The investigative unit of the Yekaterinburg Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has opened a criminal case on the charge of 'fraud on a particularly large scale'," the press group of the Yekaterinburg MVD reported.
Earlier in Yekaterinburg a pensioner lost 15 million rubles after a call from a former 'colleague'.
