A pensioner from Omsk transferred more than 28 million rubles to fraudsters

Investigators have opened a criminal case into the theft of more than 28 million rubles from a 68-year-old Omsk resident. This was reported on April 30 in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Omsk region.

"Over the course of a month, a resident of Omsk, following the instructions, withdrew money from various banks. I transferred part of it to accounts, and handed over two more amounts to couriers," follows from a publication in the Telegram channel.

It is noted that at first the scammers called the victim on behalf of the "CEO of the investment company" with whom the woman has a contract. She had no doubts, because she invested money and had an income.

Within a month, the pensioner transferred money to fraudsters. Only the need to apply for a loan made her doubt and contact the police.

It is specified that the investigation of the criminal case is ongoing.
