14-year-old schoolboy was frightened and transferred to scammers 770 thousand rubles

In Bashkiria, a 14-year-old schoolboy transferred more than 770 thousand rubles to phone fraudsters. The teenager took money from his mother’s hiding place. This was reported in the interior Ministry of the Republic.

According to the Agency, 36-year-old local businesswoman kept a large sum at home. She found her missing later. On October 10, a stranger called her son. She introduced herself as a school worker and convinced the teenager to dictate the code from the SMS. According to legend, it was necessary to link the mother’s phone to an electronic diary.

The next day, the boy received a call from a man who called himself an employee of the Ministry of Information. He then transferred the conversation to an alleged FSB representative. The interlocutor said that the mother faces a criminal case, and offered to transfer the money to a “safe account”.

The schoolboy extracted more than 770 thousand rubles from the stash. Through an ATM, he made two transfers to unknown accounts. A criminal case has been opened on this fact. The police identify all those involved in the crime.
