“For work – half a million”: the Novokuznetskaya fell for the trick of fraudsters

In the messenger, an unknown woman offered a job to the Novokuznetskaya. The girl agreed, went through an online interview and training. And then the “specialist of the personnel department” asked for passport data and bank card details – allegedly for the conclusion of an employment contract.

The girl told me. And from her card immediately wrote off 7,500 rubles.

But that was just the beginning. She later received a call from a “financial organization employee.” Said that fraudsters took possession of her data and opened a currency account in her name. Scared of criminal liability for the storage of currency and the loss of all savings. He convinced me to transfer the money to a “safe account.”.

The Novokuznetskaya took out a loan, borrowed from friends - and translated everything. And then I realized that she was cheated.

Now the police are looking for scammers. A criminal case has been opened.
