After a call from the "polyclinic", a Kirov resident was attacked by the "financial police" and the "FSB".

      A criminal case has been opened in Kirov on suspicion of fraud committed against a 64-year-old local resident. According to the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kirov Region, an unknown woman called the man's mobile phone and introduced herself as an "employee of a clinic." The caller said she needed to verify the man's details: his SNILS number and passport information. The Kirov resident dictated all the requested information to the "medical worker."

      After that call, he was contacted in messaging apps by unknown individuals who identified themselves as "financial police officers" and "FSB officers." They said that a power of attorney had allegedly been issued in his name to obtain a loan that could be used to finance terrorist activities, and that he would be held criminally liable for it.

      The unknowns told the man that he could avoid criminal prosecution by cashing out his savings at a bank. He was then instructed to install the "Central Bank app" and, using the account details they dictated, transfer the money through it and immediately delete the app afterwards.

      Following the instructions, the Kirov resident transferred 985,000 rubles to the fraudsters. After that, communication with the "financial police" and the "FSB officers" ceased: they stopped getting in touch. The Kirov resident realized he had been deceived and reported it to the police.
