In 2025, scammers stole more than 1.3 billion rubles from Kirov residents.

      This year more than 4,800 residents of the Kirov Region have been victimized by remote scammers. In the past week — 33 people.

      Over the year the total amount of damage amounted to more than 1.3 billion rubles. In the past seven days — 2.6 million rubles.

      According to the prosecutor's office, most often the scammers pretended to be its employees, as well as representatives of the FSB, the tax authorities, the Bank of Russia and the Gosuslugi portal. In addition to mobile phone communication, they used messaging apps, sent victims photos of forged documents, and sometimes used couriers.

      To protect citizens, this year the prosecutor's office filed more than 900 lawsuits to recover money from droppers and 41 lawsuits seeking to have loan agreements and property sale contracts declared invalid. In the past week — 41 and 1, respectively.
