A resident of Chepetsk gave scammers 7.5 million rubles for a "payment for a deceased relative."
According to police, the man had previously received a compensation payment following the death of a relative. Recently an unknown caller phoned him and offered to "increase the compensation amount." For this, the man was asked to provide personal data. He complied, after which people who identified themselves as "employees of the Gosuslugi portal" and the "FSB" began contacting him in turn.
The callers said that by providing his data he had allegedly allowed criminals to transfer money to Ukraine. To avoid criminal prosecution for actions he had not actually committed, the interlocutors insisted on an urgent transfer of funds to a "protected special account."
They even told the man a specific bank branch and terminal from which the money should be transferred, and dictated the account details. The man followed all the instructions, sending the criminals more than 7.5 million rubles. Only then did he realize he had been the victim of a scam.
A criminal case has been opened on suspicion of fraud. Police are now working to identify the callers. A woman from Kirov wanted to receive compensation for a deceased relative but ended up losing 7.5 million rubles. In Kirov, a 21-year-old "employer" who was stealing from people through fake job vacancies was detained.
