Student from Kazan arrested for stealing 1.6 million rubles from teenager from Saransk

In Kazan detained 20-year-old student who, working as a courier from fraudsters, stole 1.6 million rubles from a 15-year-old teenager from Saransk. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Mordovia, the fraudsters first tricked the student into reporting a code from an SMS, and then convinced him of the involvement of parents in treason and the need to transfer money for verification.

The teenager gave the courier accumulated by his father for the car 1.63 million rubles. The detained student admitted that he had found a job online and knew it was illegal. He had already tried to trick another victim into Mari El before heading to Saransk. A criminal case has been opened and accomplices are being sought.
