In Kirov, a 20-year-old man took hundreds of thousands from pensioners in the "Relative in Trouble" scam.
In Kirov, an investigation into a criminal fraud case targeting elderly residents of the region has been completed. The suspect, a 20-year-old man, operated under the "relative in distress" scheme, collecting money from trusting pensioners.
According to the investigation, the young man worked as a "courier" for an unidentified criminal: his task was to collect money from the victims and transfer it to the organizers' accounts, keeping 10% of the amount for himself.
Over two days the young man visited four women in Omutninsk, Slobodskoy and Kirov, swindling 800,000 rubles from them. He partially transferred the funds according to his handlers' instructions. He was detained by police in Kirov while receiving money from another victim.
The suspect partially admitted guilt and fully reimbursed the losses. The criminal case has now been sent to the Omutninsky District Court for trial.
The case once again serves as a reminder of how vulnerable elderly people remain to phone and internet scammers, and how easily young people can be drawn into criminal schemes under the guise of "extra earnings."
