In the Kirov region, a family lost 834,000 by believing scammers

      The day before, a stranger called a resident of the Luz district at Whatsapp. He assured her that it was necessary to replace the electric meter, and to confirm the time of the master's visit, he allegedly needed to give the codes from the SMS. The victim trusted the caller and followed his instructions.

      Later, other interlocutors began to contact the woman, posing as government officials. According to them, a resident of the Kirov region had to give the numbers, which she did. So, Moshenikov managed to log into her personal account on the Public Services portal, get personal information and information about bank accounts, and also transfer money to finance banned organizations.

      According to the attackers, their transfer to a "secure account" will allegedly help to avoid losing funds. The victim not only transferred the money, but also convinced her roommate to apply for a bank loan of 164 thousand rubles to send this money. Later, the family realized that they had no more access to funds in the amount of 834 thousand rubles. That's when they realized they'd been tricked. At the moment, the identities of the interlocutors are being established as part of the criminal investigation.
