Unknown claimed that in the name of the woman issued a loan of 600 thousand rubles, and persuaded her to take this amount in the bank on their own and pass the courier. Under pressure, the victim fulfilled the demands. The next day, the pseudo-specialists intimidated the pensioner allegedly sent to Ukraine with a transfer and the threat of criminal liability for financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine, demanding another 700 thousand rubles. The woman was saved by the wife of her son, who brought the money, but after seeing the state of her mother-in-law, she understood the essence of the fraud and called the police.

After the meeting of the victim with the “forwarder”, the 38-year-old Muscovite was detained by criminal investigation operatives. It is established that the stolen 600 thousand rubles she took to Moscow and in parts gave three other couriers, received for his services 9 thousand rubles.
