16-year-old courier of fraudsters detained after “tour” in Saratov

16-year-old alleged courier of telephone fraudsters detained in the suburbs. This was reported in the Department of internal Affairs in the Tambov region.

The scammers persuaded a resident of Tambov to “declar” savings and transfer cash to a “trusted person”. On November 7, a minor Muscovite came for money and took a bag with 8 thousand dollars and 12 thousand euros.

The deceived man appealed to the police, where they opened a case under part 4 of article 159 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation.

During the interrogation, the girl said that she herself became a victim: after the report of the hacking of “State Services”, she was intimidated by responsibility for terrorism. Within a week, she managed to visit Yaroslavl, Saratov and Tambov, taking money from deceived residents. The operatives identified the courier and stopped her taxi near Kashira. During the arrest, they found all the currency, bank cards and a phone with correspondence with the curator.

The investigation is ongoing.
