In Kirov, scammers tried to cheat an 87-year-old pensioner out of 1.5 million rubles.
An unknown caller who introduced himself as an employee of a telecommunications company phoned an 87-year-old pensioner and, under the pretext of renewing a contract, demanded that she provide her passport details. After that, the woman from Kirov began receiving calls from "fake employees" — allegedly representatives of a bank and law enforcement agencies. She was told that someone was "trying to transfer her money to Ukraine," and was offered a way to "secure" her savings: withdraw all funds and transfer them to a "safe account." The pensioner told the fraudsters that she had 410,000 rubles in cash and one million rubles in a deposit. She was urged to urgently withdraw and transfer the money, and to prepare for a search. On her way to the bank the woman recalled media reports about similar schemes and contacted the police. Thanks to this she managed to preserve her savings. A criminal case has been opened and an investigation is underway.
