False silovik stole from a resident of Komi 5.5 million
A resident of Usinsk fell for the bait of fraudsters.
The victim of the scammers was a 65-year-old pensioner from Usinsk, who broke up with 5.5 million rubles. She was first called by an employee of the Criminal Code, and then by an employee of the FSB; under the pretext of protecting herself from terrorists and hacking State services, he persuaded the woman to transfer all her savings to a “safe account”.
To do this, she bought a new phone, installed surveillance apps and cashed in, explaining to bank employees that she was buying a car. Further, through the ATM, it conducted 27 transactions to transfer 4.5 million rubles. In addition, the fraudsters persuaded the woman to borrow funds from a relative, promising to return everything after the “investigation”. A criminal case has been opened under the article “Fraud”.
