The flight attendant prevented the pensioner to give fraudsters credit money

At Koltsovo airport in Yekaterinburg, a flight attendant prevented the transfer of a large amount of money to fraudsters. 73-year-old pensioner from Pervouralsk was going to give the courier more than a million rubles. This was reported in the Department of Transport of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Ural Federal District.

The incident occurred in the arrival area. The flight attendant heard an elderly woman discussing the transfer of money over the phone. The airline employee tried to intervene, but the pensioner did not believe her and asked to leave her alone.

There was an outfit of patrol duty. The police explained to the woman that on the other end of the wire fraudsters, and persuaded to interrupt the conversation. However, by that time, the pensioner had already managed to agree on the transfer and issue a loan of 1.13 million rubles.

The courier, who came for cash, was detained on the spot and taken to the police department. He was a 39-year-old resident of Domodedovo. The man specially flew to the Urals. He admitted that since March he has been in a group that deceives people and plays the role of a “runner”. Before his arrest in Koltsovo, he managed to take almost four million rubles from a pensioner from Tatarstan.

The man has been charged with fraud and money laundering. The court chose him a measure of restraint in the form of a subscription not to leave.

In the Kemerovo region, an 18-year-old local resident was found guilty of fraud - on the instructions of scammers, he took more than 62 million rubles from a family couple of pensioners, leaving a package with money in the specified place for a percentage of the amount. The court sentenced the courier to five years in prison in a general regime colony.
