A woman from Kirov lost 1.7 million rubles after trusting in gold investments.
Recently, a 74-year-old woman from Kirov posted her contact information online, hoping to find a part-time job. Soon, she received a message offering to invest money in the gold mining industry.
For several months, the pensioner transferred large sums to accounts provided by her interlocutors. According to the scammers, the money was used for opening transit accounts, paying taxes, and currency conversion. In total, the woman transferred 750,000 rubles, which she borrowed from acquaintances.
When the woman began to doubt the honesty of the scheme, she was contacted by a person posing as a lawyer who convinced her that a crime had been committed but there was a chance to recover her money. For this, she was told to pay for legal services, taxes, and insurance. Trusting him, she transferred another million rubles.
It was only at the end of June that she realized she had been deceived and contacted the police. A criminal case was initiated on fraud.
