Abakanka was not confused by the complex scheme of “rescue” 45 thousand rubles from fraudsters

A 40-year-old local woman filed a fraud complaint with the Abakan police. The woman transferred 45 thousand rubles to scammers, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for RH reports.

It all began with a call from a stranger who told about the replacement of the intercom in the entrance and, under the pretext of activating a temporary password, convinced the victim to dictate the SMS code.

Next to the Abakanka contacted an alleged employee of the portal “State Services”, who said that the account women recorded suspicious activity, and her personal data are under threat. Further interaction moved to the messenger.

Then the “Central Bank employee” demanded that the savings be transferred from a credit card to a “safe account” ostensibly to protect the money.

At the same time, the attackers put forward a condition: first, the entire amount was required to transfer to a friend, after which they were returned to the victim’s account, and then sent to the details specified by the fraudsters. The woman was promised that in a day all funds will return, the press service of the Ministry said.

The citizen fulfilled all the instructions and sent 45 thousand rubles. Without waiting for the return, she realized that she had fallen into the network of fraudsters and appealed to the police, where they opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Part 2 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
