A resident of YeAO gave more than 600 thousand rubles to false brokers.

In the Jewish Autonomous Region, a 70-year-old woman suffered because of false brokers. The victim lost more than 600,000 roubles.

According to the local resident, she saw an advertisement for an investment company on the Internet. The woman went to the site and filled out a questionnaire with personal data. Soon the pensioner received a call from a stranger who introduced herself as the manager of the company. She offered to earn money by buying and selling shares, writes EAOMedia IA.

The woman took out a loan and transferred funds to the account dictated by the swindler. When the income could not be obtained, the victim appealed to the police. The criminal case was initiated on the fact of fraud on a large scale.

In the Sakhalin region, a 55-year-old woman gave 799 thousand rubles to fraudsters. The victim was persuaded to transfer the money to a "safe" account.
