"An administration employee" swindled 1.6 million rubles from a pensioner in Kirov.

      According to the police, an unknown person first called the pensioner, introducing himself as an administration employee, and informed her about supposedly due rewards and payments for her work experience. To receive them, the woman was convinced to provide her personal information. After that, a "military prosecutor" and a "lawyer" intervened, claiming that her data had already fallen into the hands of fraudsters, and that she was allegedly at risk of becoming a suspect in a criminal case. Under the pretext of "declaring" funds, the criminals convinced the woman from Kirov to hand over money to an "authorized person." The woman gave 1.6 million rubles to the unknown individual. Later, the scammers tried to force her to withdraw another 1 million rubles from her accounts, but bank employees suspected fraud and convinced the pensioner to contact the police. A criminal case has been initiated, and the identities of those involved are being established. Law enforcement agencies remind that neither administration employees nor security services require money or personal information to be disclosed over the phone.
