Fraudsters lured 103 thousand rubles from the penziachka, frightening the hacking of “State Services”

In Penza, a 49-year-old woman became a victim of remote deception. She received a notification about the addition to the chat, where it was reported that her account on the portal “State Services” was hacked, and personal data got to the attackers. Then a woman called, who introduced herself as an employee of the law enforcement agency. She convinced the penziachka that to protect funds, you need to transfer money to a “safe account”. The victim transferred 103 thousand rubles to an unknown bank card number. After the pseudo-specialists stopped communicating, the woman realized that she had been deceived, and contacted the police department No. 5.

A criminal case was initiated under Part 2 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The sanction provides for up to five years in prison. Police officers identify those involved in the crime.
