A resident of Kirov with stock trading experience transferred 38,000 rubles to scammers.
A retiree independently studied stock trading, successfully acquired financial assets, and consulted online on investment matters. At the end of June, an unknown person contacted him via WhatsApp and offered to "earn" — withdraw 7 million rubles in cryptocurrency from a brokerage account allegedly opened at a Swiss bank. To do this, the man was required to pay for the opening of a virtual safe deposit box.
During the conversation, the scammer asked the Kirov resident to demonstrate his phone screen and access banking applications. Under the interlocutor's dictation, the retiree transferred 38,000 rubles to the provided phone number. Immediately afterward, the contact with the "helper" was cut off, the conversation was deleted, and the man did not receive the promised money.
Realizing he had been deceived, he contacted the police. A criminal case has been initiated, and an investigation is ongoing.
The UVDM urges Kirov residents to be extremely cautious when communicating via messaging apps: even deep financial knowledge will not protect against a carefully planned scam.
