In Krasnoyarsk, the master of manicure professionally lured 5.5 million rubles

In Krasnoyarsk, the 37-year-old masters of manicure fraudsters left without 5.5 million rubles, they said in the prosecutor's office.

The story began back in September 2024, when the young Krasnoyarka in the messenger was added to the investment group.

“The woman had nothing against additional earnings and was not too lazy to study the proposed information. Interested in the proposal, she contacted the administrator of the group, who introduced her to the course of business. He recommended starting with a small amount, and at first everything looked harmless. The essence of earnings was to invest money and receive it back with interest, ”the press service said.

For some time the scheme worked. The woman transferred funds, and the administrator showed her the received funds.

“The woman did not take loans, she“ invested ”her savings, her husband and occupied money from relatives and acquaintances, until once she lost access to the group, she was simply removed from subscribers without explanation. Only then did she realize that she became a victim of the scam, because for 9 months about 1 million rubles returned to her. However, she lost much more – 5.5 million rubles, ”the prosecutor’s office said.

A criminal case of fraud has been instituted on this fact (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

The prosecutor’s office notes that since the beginning of the year, fraudsters managed to deceive 5239 residents of the region. The damage caused amounted to 1,418,807,534 rubles. Law enforcement officers managed to disclose only 25.9% of the total number of crimes committed – 857 cases. The courts took 442 criminal cases.

Over the past week, 199 residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory were given to fraudsters more than 55 million rubles. Most often, deceivers were submitted by employees of special services and organizations who saved “well -being.”
