A resident of Kirov lost over 55,000 instead of receiving a birthday gift.

      A resident of Kirov became a victim of scammers, losing over 55,000 rubles after receiving an email with a false discount offer from an online store. The email, received on his email account on his birthday, informed him of a holiday discount on the store's products. Interested in the offer, the man clicked on the link provided and visited a website that appeared to be the genuine company site.

      On the fake site, he chose a television costing 26,820 rubles and entered his bank card details to make a purchase. However, he did not receive any confirmation of payment. A few days later, two sums of 27,820 rubles each were withdrawn from his account.

      When the Kirov resident contacted the online store's technical support, he was told that no promotions had taken place and that the site he visited was fraudulent. The victim reported the incident to the police, and a criminal case has been initiated.

      Law enforcement agencies remind citizens of the importance of exercising caution when performing online transactions. Experts advise verifying website addresses and being careful with discount offers received via email.
