A visitor from Omsk cheated Tambov pensioner for 9 million rubles

Staroyurievsky district court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for a 26-year-old native of Omsk, suspected of major fraud.

According to the investigation, between September 14 and October 6, the young man, acting in collusion with an unidentified accomplice, deceived the 77-year-old woman. The attackers called the pensioner from different numbers and persuaded her to transfer 8,875,000 rubles to the so-called “safe account” of the Central Bank of Russia. The victim transferred the money in parts in various places in the Tambov region.

The actions of the suspect are qualified by the investigating authorities as fraud committed by a group of persons on a preliminary conspiracy on an especially large scale.

The court granted the request of the investigation and sent the defendant into custody for two months - until January 3, 2027 inclusive. The ruling has not yet entered into force.
