Kirov resident gave 32 million rubles to fraudsters

      About two months ago, a Kirov resident, born in 1968, was contacted in a messenger by a stranger with the name of the accountant of the company where he previously worked. The interviewee informed the man that law enforcement agencies were allegedly conducting a check on information leaks from the company. If employees get in touch, you need to do whatever they say, the accountant said.

      Subsequently, the Kirov resident was contacted by an "investigator" and "an employee of the Central Bank." According to them, fraudsters are trying to appropriate the savings and property of the victim, and to prevent this, funds need to be transferred to an allegedly protected account, and "imaginary transactions" need to be made with the existing real estate.

      The victim entered the details of the bank cards into the contactless payment application on his smartphone, and later he replenished them with cashed-out savings through ATMs. The man also tried to sell the apartment for 7 million rubles, but it did not come to a deal: he realized that he was being deceived. In total, the man lost 32 million rubles. A criminal case has been opened on this fact.
