Lipetsk teenager came to Saratov to steal a million rubles

Police in Saratov detained a 16-year-old resident of the Lipetsk region, who took one million rubles from a local resident on the instructions of telephone fraudsters. This is reported by the press service of the city administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The victim of the fraud was a 57-year-old resident of the Factory district. He called an unknown person under the guise of an employee of the Pension Fund and learned the code from the SMS allegedly for indexing pensions. After that, the man received a call from fake representatives of Rosfinmonitoring and the law enforcement agency. They said that the personal data of the citizen was stolen, and persuaded him to withdraw all savings for “declaration”. Believing the scammers, Saratov cashed in and gave a million rubles to an unknown person at the house on Ogorodnaya Street.

The courier was an unconvicted Lipetsk teenager who found a part-time job in the messenger. On the instructions of the curators, he came to Saratov, called the man a code word and took a bundle of money. For this work, the young man received 20 thousand rubles. Now investigators have opened a criminal case under the fourth part of article 159 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation, and the minor is under a subscription not to leave.
