The 25-year-old student from Krasnoyarsk was the next victim of Internet managers.
In early September of this year, the young man received a call from a person who introduced himself as an employee of the dean. The attacker announced the need to fill out the characteristic through a special site. The guy crossed the indicated link to the fake portal “State Services”, where he entered his username and password, and then dictated the code from SMS messages to fraudsters.
Over the past week alone, in 145 residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, more than 44 million rubles were stolen in a remote way. Since the beginning of 2025, 6,829 residents of the region have suffered from scammers. The damage caused – 1.9 billion rubles. The percentage of disclosure of these crimes is 26.8 % (1171 excessions are disclosed). 556 criminal cases were sent to the courts of the region.
Realizing that he was a victim of deception, the student tried to rectify the situation and called the number indicated in the notification of the “data unloading”. He was answered by a girl who introduced himself as an employee of the State Services, and transferred a call to the falsehood of the Central Bank. He, referring to the “Agreement with the leadership” procedure, convinced the young man of the need to transfer all his money to a “safe score” for their safety.
Processing the convincing assurances of the swindlers, the student for several days withdrew large amounts of money from bank deposits and cards. At the direction of the fraudster, he visited the branches of various banks and ATMs, where he transferred money using a special application.
“I was absolutely sure that I communicate with the official representatives of state bodies and the bank. Their speech was competent, the actions were consistent. At that moment, there was not even a thought that these were scammers, ”the victim explained.
The damage caused to a young man amounted to more than 7.7 million rubles. All stolen money was his personal savings and inheritance funds.
A criminal case of fraud has been instituted (Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
