In Kirov, a pensioner gave scammers more than 1.1 million rubles.
According to the police, a man who introduced himself as an employee of the educational institution where she had previously worked first called the woman. He persuaded her to go to the pension fund and give the code from an SMS. Later an unknown person, allegedly an operator for "Gosuslugi", contacted the Kirov resident via the Telegram messenger. The fraudster claimed that someone was supposedly trying to withdraw money from the pensioner's account. For the "safety of the funds" a fake FSB officer then made contact and convinced the woman to withdraw all her savings and transfer them to a "safe account," strictly forbidding her to tell anyone about what was happening. Trusting the callers, the pensioner transferred more than 1.1 million rubles to the specified account details. The police opened a criminal case under part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Fraud on a particularly large scale") and once again reminded: if someone asks you to transfer money to a "safe account" and keep it secret, they are scammers.
