A resident of Vyatskie Polyany lost over half a million rubles by trusting the employees of the telecom operator and the Central Bank.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kirov Region reported a new case of internet fraud with significant losses. A resident of Vyatskiye Polyany became a victim of a criminal scheme, losing 522,000 rubles, of which he borrowed 115,000 via a loan.
According to police, the young man received a call in the Telegram messenger. The caller identified themselves as an employee of one of the mobile network operators and informed him that it was necessary to clarify or change his personal data in the contract. The fraudster sent a link, and by clicking on it, the victim obtained access codes to his personal account on the Gosuslugi portal. These codes became the key to the hacking.
Soon, the man started receiving calls from "employees of the Central Bank and MFC." They claimed that his account had been hacked and that, to prevent unauthorized credit issuance, he needed to urgently transfer money to a "secure account." Confident and persistent fake specialists convinced him to do so.
The man transferred all his savings, took out a loan, and transferred an additional 115,000 rubles. Only then did he realize he had been deceived and contacted the police.
A criminal case has been initiated under Part 3 of Article 159 (Fraud on a large scale) and Part 2 of Article 272 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Unauthorized access to computer information, causing substantial damage or committed out of selfish interest). An investigation is ongoing.
The police once again urge citizens to be vigilant: do not click on unknown links, do not share confirmation codes, and do not transfer money at the request of strangers, no matter who they claim to be.
