because of easy money, a minus woman with many children became an accomplice of swindlers / Incidents of Krasnoyarsk and the Krasnoyarsk Territory / Newslab.Ru

In Minusinsk, a 30-year-old mother of three children will appear in court, who became a participant in a fraudulent scheme. The regional prosecutor's office reports this.

According to investigators, in October 2025, a woman responded to an ad on TikTok about making quick money. The “vacancy” promised payment of 5-7 thousand rubles for 3-4 hours a day.

IN Telegram she contacted “employer”, who explained the scheme: the woman had to come to the “clients” by taxi and take cash from them to supposedly transfer it to their cards for a reward.

On the very first day of work, Minusinka received 200 thousand rubles from an 85-year-old pensioner. The false investigator convinced the victim that her granddaughter had been in an accident and needed urgent surgery costing 2 million rubles.

The mother of many children, according to investigators, realized that she was participating in a deception scheme, but still took the money from the pensioner.

The woman was unable to transfer them to the scammers the first time – her old phone did not support the application. The curator ordered to buy a new one from the stolen one and take 5 thousand rubles for himself as “salary”.

Law enforcement officers detained Minusinka that same night. She fully admitted guilt. The prosecutor confirmed the charge of fraud by an organized group, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. The case will be considered by the Minusinsk City Court.
