In Yaroslavl, both mother and son fell for the trick of telephone fraudsters

As a result, more than three million rubles migrated to the accounts of scammers.

This story began with a call from an alleged mobile operator. The 71-year-old woman, unaware of any trick, reported the code to extend the contract for communication services.

Pretty soon, she got a call again. This time to convince the pensioner of a serious threat that is already hanging over her savings and the need to urgently transfer everything accumulated to a “safe” account.

The most curious thing is that the conversation was on speakerphone, and the son who was nearby also succumbed to the tricks of fraudsters. Moreover, it was he who, on the instructions of the attackers, made several transfers from accounts.

On the fact of the crime in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Dzerzhinsky district, a criminal case was opened on fraud on an especially large scale.
