A resident of Sovetsk spoke with a "tax inspector" and lost nearly a million.
A 30-year-old resident of the city of Sovetsk received a call from an unknown person claiming to be an employee of the tax office. He assured the girl that she was having problems paying taxes due to an incorrectly filled out declaration. To "resolve" the issues, she was instructed to provide the code sent to her phone to the tax officer. The girl trusted the stranger and followed the instructions.
After some time, residents of Sovetsk began receiving calls on their mobile phones and messages in the Telegram messenger from unknown persons claiming to be employees of Gosuslugi, the Central Bank, Roskomnadzor, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigators. They convinced the girl of the need to transfer money to a "safe account."
Within 10 days, under various pretenses, the scammers coerced the victim into taking out several loans totaling 840,000 rubles, then transferring this money to the accounts they specified. Only when the "investigator from the Ministry of Internal Affairs" informed her that she had become an accomplice to a scam and needed to "pay off" to prevent criminal charges did the girl realize she had fallen into the hands of criminals. A criminal case has been initiated on this fact, and an investigation is ongoing.
The press service of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kirov region reminds citizens that when communicating with strangers, regardless of how they present themselves, they should not follow any instructions given by these individuals.
