In Nazarov, the scammers cheated a pensioner for several months and lured 8.2 million rubles

An elderly resident of the Krasnoyarsk Territory came across a deception with a message from the leader and gave fraudsters 8.2 million rubles.

The prosecutor’s office said that the first time attackers contacted a 60-year-old woman from Nazarovo in December last year. She came to the phone a message from the director of the company in which she used to work. He said that after a leakage of personal data of the enterprise employees, a check was organized against a woman.

Soon, the “law enforcement officer” called her, and then the “smoking employee of the Central Bank”. He learned about all the savings and said that the old account became unsafe, so it needs to be removed, and the money was transferred to a new one.

“In parallel, the woman was intimidated by“ mythical villains ”who are trying to kidnap money and finance the organizations banned in Russia. So, under the sensitive control of the swindlers, the pensioner transferred in a few days, and also handed over 5.4 million rubles to the courier. Most of the savings belonged to her son, who was in his zone, ”the press service said.

In January, another participant in the scheme sent a document to the pensioner on the appointment of 6.1 million rubles as a reward. But from this amount it was necessary to pay a tax on which the woman no longer had money. The attacker said that it was impossible to abandon the “reward”, and convinced her to lend 455 thousand rubles from friends. They also went to the account dictated by phone.

“But this scammers were not enough. Closer to February, they again made themselves felt, notifying the victim of a non -existent loan, which were issued by unknown on the bail of her apartment. To save the property, scammers indicated it as soon as possible, and transfer the proceeds to the “Reserve Fund”. The victim was informed that the transaction would be fictitious, and the apartment would remain in her property. So, with the help of a realtor, a pensioner sold housing for 2.4 million rubles. She handed over the proceeds to the courier, ”the press service said.

A criminal case of fraud was instituted in the case (Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

The prosecutor’s office called for residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory to be vigilant and not believe people who are represented by police and other law enforcement officers, as well as banks specialists, including the Central Bank. Since the beginning of the year, 2512 inhabitants of the region have become victims of the Internet, they gave 616.3 million rubles. Now only 548 crimes have been disclosed from this number, 93 went to the courts.

But the past week shows that people continue to believe the scammers. 132 people were given to attackers 42 million rubles.

• 32 residents of the region became victims of phishing links to online stores.
• 11 users of social networks trusted reports from the accounts of friends and acquaintances who asked to lend money.
• In 53 cases, the victims on the Internet fell on the tricks of unidentified persons through deception.
