A resident of Primorye lost almost 1.8 million rubles because of fraudsters

A resident of Nakhodka was deprived of almost 1.8 million roubles because of fraudsters. A criminal case has been instituted in connection with this fact.

According to the 67-year-old pensioner, he received a message in messenger, allegedly from his manager, about checking the archive data of employees and the possible leakage of this data. Then the man was contacted by a person who stated about the risk of illegal use of the victim's data for registration of loans. About it writes IA PrimaMedia.

In the future, the "bank employee" continued to communicate with the victim. He confirmed the information leak and asked the resident of Nakhodka, in which banks he has accounts. Under the pretext of protection of funds, the interlocutor persuaded the man to transfer funds to "safe accounts".

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

In St. Petersburg, a pensioner gave more than 6 million rubles to fraudsters. An 86-year-old woman believed that savings should be transferred to ensure their safety.
