Ivanovo pensioner gave fraudsters 1.1 million rubles
76-year-old resident of Ivanova became the victim of scammers who used two fraudulent schemes
A 76-year-old resident of Ivanova became the victim of scammers who used two fraudulent schemes at once. At first, the woman got a call from a stranger who introduced herself as an employee of the Pension Fund. Under the pretext of recalculating the pension, she asked to dictate the code from the SMS.
Soon the pensioner called other attackers — this time they posed as representatives of law enforcement agencies. The interlocutors said that the personal data of women allegedly used to finance terrorist organizations. To avoid trouble, she was offered to transfer the savings for verification.
The frightened citizen collected 1.1 million rubles and gave the money to the courier who came to her entrance. Later, the woman realized that she was a victim of deception and went to the police.
On the fact of fraud on an especially large scale opened a criminal case. Law enforcement officers establish the identity of the courier and other members of the criminal group.
