A female hospital employee transferred one and a half million to scammers.
In the Kirov region, a 54-year-old woman, an employee of a local hospital, became a victim of fraudsters. This was reported by the regional office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It all began when the woman received a message allegedly sent by the deputy chief physician. It contained a file with an order to check the staff, purportedly because of suspicion that money had been transferred to a terrorist.
The criminals then acted according to a tried-and-true scheme. They presented themselves as employees of various agencies and convinced the woman that she faced criminal prosecution. To "avoid punishment," the victim was forced to transfer all her money to the so-called Central Bank safe account.
Over the course of two weeks the scammers found out where the woman had deposits and, under various pretexts, forced her to cash them out. In the end she transferred 1.2 million rubles to a fake Central Bank account and another 330,000 rubles to the numbers provided by the fraudsters.
When the promised returns did not come, the woman realized she had been deceived. A criminal case has been opened in this regard. In Kirov a pensioner transferred about 600 thousand rubles to fraudsters. A Kirov resident transferred 1.3 million rubles to fraudsters while trying to buy a "car from Europe." In Kirov a vigilant bank employee saved a pensioner from losing 1.5 million rubles.
