A resident of Primorye gave more than 1.5 million rubles to fraudsters.

A resident of Dalnerechensk (Primorsky Krai) lost more than 1.5 million rubles due to fraudsters. A criminal case has been opened.

According to the pensioner, she saw on the Internet an offer of high income from investments. The woman installed an app on her phone and filled out a questionnaire. Later, the "curator" entered into correspondence with the victim. According to his instructions, the pensioner transferred a large sum to an outside account, writes IA PrimaMedia.

Soon, the woman was notified about changes in the rules for connecting deposits due to new sanctions. The victim applied for a loan and again transferred a large amount to an outside account. After that, the "brokerage account" was allegedly blocked, and in order to unlock and restore the "tax index", the fraudsters again demanded an additional payment.

The criminal case was initiated under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Fraud").

In Yakutia, a 62-year-old woman lost more than 14 million rubles due to fraudsters. She expected to receive income from investments.
