The woman gave $ 2 million for the posthumous award for his son

A resident of the Karatuz district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory became the victim of a multi-stage fraudulent scheme, as a result of which she lost about 2 million rubles.

Initially, she received a call from unknown people who introduced themselves as representatives of the organization that presents state awards and reported that her son, who died in the zone of a special military operation, was posthumously presented for the award. This is reported by the press service of the Prosecutor’s office in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

She was subsequently contacted by persons who identified themselves as investigators. They said that the woman’s page on the portal of public services was hacked, and her money is trying to write off. The only way out, according to the attackers, was to transfer all savings to a “safe account”, after which the case would be closed. Believing in this legend, the victim withdrew cash, came to Abakan and transferred about 2 million rubles to scammers through an ATM.

A criminal investigation into what happened was initiated. It was not possible to identify and detain the direct organizers of the crime, but law enforcement agencies identified accounts to which the stolen funds were received. Their owners were residents of the Kemerovo region, who acted as droppers. The woman transferred 930 thousand rubles to them.

The prosecutor’s office appealed to the court with claims for the recovery of unjust enrichment. The requirements of the supervisory authority were met in full. The court decisions came into force, and all 930 thousand rubles were recovered from the droppers.
