An elderly Chepчанka was robbed by a "son involved in a car accident"

      An elderly resident of Kirovo-Chepetsk fell victim to scammers, who stole all her savings. According to the Kirov Region police department, an unknown person called the pensioner on her mobile phone and introduced himself as her son. The caller reported that he had hit a person, causing serious injuries. The elderly woman, who has hearing difficulties, became distressed and believed she was talking to her son.

      Then, the "son" handed the phone to a man who introduced himself as an investigator. He explained to the woman that money was needed to pay for medical assistance for the injured person and to resolve the issue of initiating a criminal case against her son. During the conversation, it was revealed that the elderly woman had savings of 200,000 rubles. The scammer insisted that the pensioner immediately hand over the cash to a courier.

      "Around 6 p.m., the pensioner handed over the money to an unidentified man in the entrance of her building. A criminal case has been initiated, and necessary measures are being taken," said the Kirov Region police department.
