In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, scammers intimidated the boy and lured him 830 thousand rubles. He transferred money from a grandmother’s card. Details were told in the prosecutor's office of the region.

A 64-year-old resident of Solontsov reported a few days ago to the police that a large amount of money had been written off from her card.

It turned out that on the eve of her grandson-sportsman at Telegram, a message came on the name of the school nurse. She allegedly could not find the data that the teenager had passed a physical examination and offered to sign up remotely. The dummy nurse asked him to inform the code to sign up in an electronic queue and send scans of personal documents. The boy suspected something was wrong and blocked the contact.

Later, from an unfamiliar number, the false specialist of the “State Services” called the student. He said that the teenager’s personal account was hacked, because of which personal data could levee. The employee warned that money could be attributed to the accounts of the Armed Forces of a foreign state. He also told the teenager about criminal liability for such a thing – for him and his parents. It was possible to avoid punishment only by “relying the accounts.”

Then, a false officer of Rosfinmonitoring called the teenager and redirected him to the “investigator”. He asked the boy about what had happened and gave his permission to communicate with an “Rosfinmonitoring employee”.

The guy independently called the swindler and followed his further instructions. The fraudster instructed the boy to come to the ATM and transfer money to the details at night when the adults would sleep.

The teenager withdrew money through ATMs and issued a credit card for 190 thousand rubles. He transferred funds to fraudsters. So his grandmother lost 830 thousand rubles.

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

Over the past week, 147 residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory were the victims of Internet managers. They transferred 27 million rubles to the scammers.
