A student from Omutninsk gave scammers money from his father's account.
A 20-year-old resident of Omutninsk applied to the MO МВД Russia "Omutninsky" with a statement about theft. According to police, the young man became a victim of telephone fraud on a particularly large scale. The total amount of damage amounted to 1,154,000 rubles.
According to law enforcement, the first to contact him was a fake employee of a mobile operator, who informed him of the need to extend the service contract. For this, the student was offered to provide a confirmation code from an SMS from the "Gosuslugi" portal. After the code was provided, a whole performance began: the victim was alternately contacted by purported representatives of MFC, the Central Bank, and the FSB.
According to the callers, because of the provided code, suspicious operations could now be carried out on his behalf, and to avoid criminal liability, he supposedly needed to "reboot" his bank accounts by depositing the maximum possible sum. Confident "talkers" persuaded the student to send money to the specified requisites: he emptied his credit card and withdrew nearly 1 million rubles from his father's account.
Only the next day did the young man realize he had fallen for a scam. A criminal case has been initiated regarding the incident, and police are investigating the identities of the offenders.
Law enforcement once again reminds: do not pass on confirmation codes, personal data, or transfer money based on instructions from strangers, regardless of what they claim to be. Genuine bank employees, law enforcement, and government officials do not make such requests.
