Russian schoolgirl uttered the word “cat” and deprived parents of all savings

In Nizhny Tagil, Sverdlovsk region, a 14-year-old schoolgirl deprived her parents of all savings, transferring more than a million rubles to fraudsters. This is reported in the press group of the MIA "Nizhnetagilskoe".

The scheme of deception began with a call from an unknown man, whom an eighth-grader mistaken for her computer science teacher.

The interlocutor called the student’s login and under the pretext of adjusting the school electronic diary asked to dictate the code from the SMS. At this point, the mother of the girl intervened in the conversation, who dropped the challenge and held a preventive conversation with her daughter.

However, after a while, the teenager got a call from a stranger who introduced herself as an employee of the Ministry of Information. She said that on the account of the girl in “State Services” noticed suspicious activity, downloaded files that “passed to the Ukrainians”, and warned of responsibility.

Then a caller called, who called himself an employee of the Central Bank, and forbade the girl to tell anyone about the conversation, explaining that her phone was tapped.

The next day, the child was contacted via video link by an imaginary representative of the FSB, who did not show his face, showing only a cabinet with yellow walls in the frame.

Threatening criminal prosecution, the caller convinced the schoolgirl that the money stored at home was linked to terrorist activities, so it must be urgently checked and registered.

Knowing about the family savings, a frightened eighth-grader fulfilled all the instructions of the interlocutor and in the evening on the street gave cash to an unfamiliar girl, calling the code word “cat”.

The fact that she became a victim of criminals, the girl guessed only the next day after blocking her account, which she immediately told her mother. On this fact, a criminal case was opened on fraud on an especially large scale.
