In Kirov, a pensioner was saved from losing 300 thousand rubles.
In Kirov, an 85-year-old pensioner became a victim of telephone scammers, but bank employees and relatives prevented her from losing money.
First, the woman received a call from an unknown person who introduced himself as an employee of the Pension Fund. He informed her that she needed to make an appointment for a pension recalculation and asked her to provide her passport details and SNILS number. The pensioner complied with the request.
After some time, she received another call from a different person who claimed to be an employee of the FSB's economic security service. He stated that the woman had allegedly previously communicated with scammers and that one million rubles had been transferred from her account "for the needs of Ukraine." The caller convinced the pensioner that she was now facing criminal liability, and that she could avoid consequences by withdrawing 300,000 rubles from her account and transferring it to a "safe account."
The frightened resident of Kirov went to the bank to withdraw the money. However, the employees of the financial organization suspected that she was under the influence of scammers and contacted her relatives. Together, they managed to convince the woman to refuse the transfer. As a result, the money remained with the pensioner.
A criminal case has been initiated regarding the attempted fraud. The police are identifying the perpetrators. The police detained a courier who took 4 million rubles from the pensioner in Sovetsk. "Every penny will go to fund the Armed Forces of Ukraine": the Kirov resident received threats after being added to a home chat. The administration warns Kirov residents about a new scam scheme involving "medal presentations."
