A resident of Kirov transferred 1.4 million to scammers after a message from her "boss" and a fake prosecutor's office.
A 52-year-old local resident reported a fraud case to Police Department No. 1 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Kirov. The damage caused to her by unknown individuals amounted to 1 million 445 thousand rubles. Part of this amount, 450 thousand rubles, the victim received from the sale of her personal vehicle.
As the police reported, everything started with a message in one of the messengers. The sender, who introduced himself as an employer, notified her of the need to digitize personal data and sent a link for confirmation. The woman followed the link, after which she was contacted by unknown individuals.
The subsequent events unfolded according to the classic scheme for such crimes. Under the pretext of hacking the "Gosuslugi" portal and issuing a power of attorney to a third-party man allegedly involved in terrorism, the Kirov resident received demands to declare her funds and transfer them to a safe account. She communicated in turn with fake employees of the "Gosuslugi" portal, the Federal Treasury of the Russian Federation, and the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation.
As a result, the woman transferred 1 million 445 thousand rubles to the unknown individuals. After receiving the money, the fraudsters deleted all correspondence and stopped contacting her. Realizing that she had been deceived, the victim reported to the police.
A criminal case has been initiated on this fact under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud on a particularly large scale). The investigation is ongoing.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kirov region reminds: employees of government agencies never require transferring money to third-party accounts, do not intimidate citizens, and do not ask for loans to be issued. In case of any suspicious calls or messages, it is necessary to immediately terminate communication and under no circumstances transfer personal data and funds to strangers.
