Bank employees saved 6 million belonging to a woman from Nema.

      The Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kirov Region reported another case of fraud. The agency said that a 53-year-old resident of the village of Nema received a call from a stranger who said she could receive a social payment for a deceased relative. To confirm her identity, the caller asked her to state her SNILS, after which he ended the conversation.

      Later a "FSB officer" called the woman and said that earlier she had been speaking with scammers who had hacked her Gosuslugi account and were now allegedly transferring money to terrorists in her name. To secure the funds, the caller suggested transferring the money to a "safe account" that he would provide. During the call the stranger repeatedly instructed the woman how to behave with bank employees if they began to ask why she needed such a large sum of money.

      Believing the caller, the woman transferred all her savings to one account and arranged with the bank to withdraw the money — more than 6 million rubles. Then she took a taxi called by the stranger to Kirov. At the bank branch, following the telephone caller's instructions, she told the operator that she wanted to open a new deposit after first cashing out all the money she had.

      Bank employees, realizing that the woman had been speaking with scammers, persuaded her not to do this and called the police. As a result, the woman's money remained in the account, and a criminal case was opened on an attempted fraud on a particularly large scale.

      A boat with fishermen capsized on the Vyatka River: one reached the shore, the other did not. In the Kirov Region an enterprise employee was injured at work. A Kirov resident went to Slobodskoy in a neighbor's car after she left the keys in the kitchen.
