A resident of Sovetsk lost more than a million rubles, believing in the replacement of an electric meter
A 60-year-old resident of Sovetsk lost more than 1 million rubles after answering a call through a mobile application. The inscription "Energy Supply" appeared on the phone screen, and the man, not suspecting a trick, entered into a conversation with an alleged employee of the energy supply company. The stranger said that an electric meter needs to be replaced, and asked for a text message code to complete the free installation.
As explained in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kirov region, this code gave fraudsters access to the pensioner's personal account on the Gosuslugi portal. Having received all the information from the profile, the scammers began to psychologically influence the man. For four days, he received calls from various people posing as employees of Roskomnadzor, Rosfinmonitoring and the security service. They all convinced him that his money was at risk and needed to be urgently transferred to a "secure account."
As a result, the victim voluntarily transferred more than 1 million rubles to the fraudsters. A criminal case has been opened, and the police are identifying those involved in the crime.
Law enforcement officers remind you: do not provide SMS codes, bank card information, or personal information by phone or in messengers. No government or financial institution requires funds to be transferred to "secure accounts." In case of any suspicion of fraud, it is recommended to contact the police or the bank immediately.
