Lipchanka in time appealed to the police and saved from scammers 2.6 million rubles

In the Usman municipal district, a 57-year-old local resident at the last moment saved 2.6 million rubles from phone fraudsters. The failed multimillion-dollar fraud was reported in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Lipetsk region.

The attackers came to the pensioner under the pretext of issuing her social payments. To order a pass to the state institution, the callers lured the SNILS woman, and then the passport details of her 20-year-old daughter. Having received information, the fraudsters broke into the personal account of the victim on the State Services and on behalf of fake employees of law enforcement agencies announced a threat to her savings.

At the behest of pseudo-security experts, the woman for several days withdrew cash from bank boxes, collecting 2.6 million rubles for sending to a “safe account”. However, before the final transfer, the villager doubted what was happening and immediately rushed to the police department.
