A resident of Tatarstan deprived a Kirov pensioner of a million rubles and collectible coins.

      An 86-year-old resident of Kirov contacted the police to report a theft of a large sum of money and collectible coins. According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Kirov Region, the day before, an unknown man called the pensioner's landline, pretending to be an employee of a company servicing landline phones. He claimed that the pensioner’s contract was about to expire and persuaded him to provide his passport details and mobile phone number.

      Later, another call followed — this time from a woman who claimed to be an FSB officer. She stated that, based on the pensioner’s passport data, criminals had taken out a loan and were now attempting to transfer funds to Ukraine. To avoid criminal liability, the man was advised to hand over all his savings and valuables for "declaration."

      Trusting the scammers, the Kirov resident handed over 600,000 rubles and collectible coins valued at 680,000 rubles to a courier in the lobby of his apartment building. Afterward, contact with the “employees” was lost.

      A criminal case has been initiated under the article for large-scale fraud. As a result of operational-investigative measures, police identified the person involved in the crime — a 24-year-old resident of Tatarstan. The young man confessed that he found an illegal part-time job offer online, came to Kirov following instructions, and transferred the received funds according to dictated details. He may also be involved in a series of similar crimes in Tatarstan.

      The suspect is in custody. The investigation is ongoing.
