A pensioner gave scammers nearly 3 million rubles for a "tariff change."
An 85-year-old man approached the Intermunicipal Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "Yaransk" with a statement about fraud. The scheme that ensnared the pensioner began with a call to his landline. An unknown person introduced herself as an employee of an energy company and offered to switch to a more favorable tariff. The man agreed.
A few days later, a new call followed. This time, the alleged employee of the Investigative Committee informed the pensioner that, using his passport details, fraudsters had opened a bank account and were using it to transfer and withdraw funds. The man was threatened with criminal liability.
Next, the criminals informed him that the money he had was "marked" — fingerprints of the criminals had been found on it. To avoid punishment, the man was offered to cash out all his accounts and hand over the funds for verification to the tax inspection.
The resident of Yaransk withdrew 2.9 million rubles from his bank deposits and handed them over in parts to unknown couriers near his home. After that, he was told that the money had been received and would be returned after verification. However, after some time, no one returned the money, and all contacts were blocked. The pensioner realized that he had become a victim of fraudsters and contacted the police.
A criminal case has been initiated under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud on a particularly large scale).
