Russian student transferred more than two million to fraudsters

19-year-old student from Agapov district of the Chelyabinsk region transferred fraudsters more than two million rubles, which got from relatives. This was reported in the press service of the GU MIA of the Russian Federation in the region.

The girl is studying in Chelyabinsk. The scheme of deception began with a call from the courier, who asked to name the delivery code. Soon the call was interrupted, and an hour later she received a call from a “security specialist”.

He convinced the student of hacking into the personal account at the State Services and registering a power of attorney for another person.

Acting under psychological pressure, the attackers forced the girl to install the Zoom app, where allegedly representatives of law enforcement agencies communicated with her.

The scammers convinced her that the family's personal data was compromised and cash at home was at risk. To “safe” their savings, they demanded to collect all the cash and “declar” it, depositing it in a special account.

The student went home and waited for her parents to go to work. She found more than one million rubles of cash and transferred them via a QR code in several payments.

According to the same scheme, the girl took another million 150 thousand rubles from her grandmother and sent them to scammers.

The attackers were constantly in contact with her by phone. When he was discharged, the student returned home and told all the relatives.

They appealed to the police, in fact a criminal case was opened.
