A resident of Nakhodka gave almost 2.9 million rubles to fraudsters.

In Nakhodka (Primorsky Krai), a pensioner lost almost 2.9 million rubles due to telephone fraud. A criminal case has been opened on this fact.

According to the 75-year-old woman, at first she received a call from a stranger who introduced herself as an employee of the vodokanal. She convinced the pensioner to dictate the code from an SMS message, ostensibly to confirm the visit of the master. Then the "investigator" called the pensioner, writes IA PrimaMedia. He stated that the victim's savings were allegedly at risk of theft due to the hacking of the bank.

The woman agreed to transfer all her savings to a "secure" account.

In Lipetsk, a schoolgirl gave jewelry and money worth 6.7 million rubles to a scammers courier girl. The suspect was detained. It was established that the 19-year-old girl herself became a victim of fraud in March and was sure that she was playing the role of a "freelance FSB officer."
