False teacher lured a 14-year-old Russian million rubles

In Nizhny Tagil opened a criminal case on fraud after a 14-year-old schoolgirl gave scammers a million rubles, taken from the savings of parents. This was reported on November 13 in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia “Nizhnetagilskoe”.

According to the agency, the scheme began with a call. An unknown man introduced himself as a computer science teacher - the girl recognized him by his voice. He called the login and asked to enter the code from the SMS, allegedly to adjust the electronic diary.

The mother interrupted the conversation and held a conversation with her daughter. However, soon a woman called the phone of the schoolgirl, who called herself an employee of the Ministry of Information. She stated suspicious activity in the account on “State Services”: some files were downloaded and transferred to the Ukrainians.

Then there were calls from false employees of the Central Bank and the FSB. They threatened the girl with a criminal case for financing terrorism and offered to avoid liability by transferring the savings of her parents. In the evening, the schoolgirl went outside and gave a million rubles to another girl, saying the code word “cat”.

The next day, the girl realized that she had been deceived. She told her mother, who went to the police. A criminal fraud case has been opened on this fact.
