The pensioner lost over 11 million rubles after a call from an alleged former employer

In Moscow, fraudsters, under the pretext of communicating with a former employer, were able to convince a pensioner to transfer 11 million rubles to them. This was announced on July 3 by the Moscow prosecutor's office.

"Communication allegedly with a former employer turned into a loss of money for the pensioner," the department's Telegram channel says.

It is reported that the 70-year-old Muscovite was contacted by the deputy CEO of the company where she previously worked. Then, allegedly, law enforcement officers reported that personal data had been leaked and they were trying to steal her money.

The fraudsters convinced the pensioner to "cooperate with the investigation and not disclose any information about the operation." After that, the false bankers were able to find out from the woman all the information about her bank accounts, stored savings and other valuables.

The pensioner, on the instructions of the attackers, transferred money to supposedly secure accounts, and also handed them over to couriers. It is specified that in 20 days of communication with scammers, she lost more than 11 million rubles.
