A resident of Kirov lost 5.4 million after believing "employees of the tax office and the Central Bank."
In Kirov, a 28-year-old man became the latest victim of fraudsters. This was reported by the regional office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It all began when the man received a call via a messaging app. A stranger who introduced himself as a tax official said there was unreported income that allegedly affected his tax record. He suggested making an appointment and, to confirm it, asked him to provide a code from an SMS message.
After that, people who identified themselves as employees of the Central Bank and the anti-terrorism committee called the man. They claimed that the perpetrators had allegedly gained access to his personal data and had transferred funds to terrorists. To avoid punishment, the callers suggested transferring money to a so-called “reserve account.”
The man believed them and took out bank loans totaling more than 3 million rubles, and also borrowed money from acquaintances and his parents. He transferred all the funds to the fraudsters’ accounts and into cryptocurrency. In total the man sent 5.4 million rubles, after which contact with the callers was lost.
A criminal case has been opened on suspicion of fraud. The perpetrators are currently being sought.
