Smolyanka transferred the fraudster 84 thousand rubles, believing in the message from the “head”

In Smolensk opened a criminal case on fraud. The 39-year-old administrator of one of the city beauty salons appealed to the police.

The woman said that the day before she received a message in the messenger allegedly from her supervisor with a request to pay for the goods for the salon. Not suspecting fraud and knowing about such schemes from the news, the administrator transferred more than 84,000 rubles to the specified account through the bank’s mobile application. It was later revealed that the real boss had not sent any messages.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Smolensk region reminds residents of the basic safety rules:

When receiving a message from a friend with a request for money, you need to ask leading questions, the answers to which only a real person knows. At the slightest doubt, you should immediately stop correspondence and call back a colleague or relative on mobile communication. It is best to ignore such messages with requests for transfer of funds.
