A pensioner from Kirov transferred 1.7 million to fraudsters.
In Kirov, a 74-year-old retiree fell victim to scammers. This was reported by the regional office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It all began when a stranger called the Kirov resident and said that criminals had gained access to his personal account on the Gosuslugi portal.
Later, the pensioner began receiving calls from people who identified themselves as employees of various agencies. They claimed that a power of attorney had been issued in his name that could be used to finance terrorist organizations and that he faced criminal liability.
Frightened, the Kirov resident followed the callers' instructions. He withdrew money from his account and transferred 1.75 million rubles to a "safe account." After that, the scammers stopped contacting him. The police opened a criminal case.
