A resident of the Kirov region was defrauded of 3.6 million rubles

A resident of Pizhanka lost 3.6 million rubles following the instructions of scammers via messenger. The press service of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs reported about the case.

The woman received a message allegedly from her boss that employees were being checked for extremism. Then an “FSB officer” called and said that on her behalf they were taking out loans and transferring money to the accounts of prohibited organizations. He said to follow his instructions to avoid getting caught.

The woman did not contact her superiors, did not call the police, and transferred all her savings to a “safe account.” She also sold the car, but the money also went to unknown accounts. She borrowed another 1.7 million from friends. When the amount of transfers reached 3 million, she realized that she had been deceived and contacted the police.

A criminal case has been opened for fraud on a particularly large scale…
