A Kirov resident lost 15 million, two cars and his business funds after trusting a "former colleague".
The press service of the Kirov Region Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reports that a 40-year-old resident of the regional center received a message in a messaging app from a former colleague about an alleged inspection of employees by the security services. He was told that if officials from state agencies got in touch, he should comply with all their demands.
Later the man began receiving calls and messages from "employees of the FSB and Rosfinmonitoring." They claimed that loans were being taken out in his name and the money was being transferred to accounts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Kirov resident was told that this could result in criminal liability for treason, which could be avoided by "strictly following instructions."
Acting on the fraudsters' instructions, the Kirov resident over the course of five days transferred his personal savings, business working capital and the proceeds from the sale of two cars to the specified accounts. The total amounted to about 15 million rubles.
When the scammers demanded another 1.5 million, the man realized he was being deceived and contacted the police. An investigator of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Kirov has opened a criminal case.
