A 13-year-old schoolgirl from Norilsk was a victim of swindlers. She transferred 19.7 million rubles of family savings to fraudsters.
According to the regional prosecutor’s office, in August 2025, girls in the Telegram messenger came a message from a certain “Vladislav Andreevna”, which introduced himself as a “specialist”. She stated that on the accounts of the father of the child – the head of one of the units of a large company – there are 20 million rubles of “unknown origin”, and that her parents are facing a criminal case and a prison. To prevent this from happening, the funds had to be transferred to a “safe account”.
For several weeks, the attacker methodically pressed the schoolgirl, demanding to help “save” her parents. Getting to the blackmail, the girl, under the pretext of receiving the transfer, spied on the password from the bank’s banking application. A month later, when his father returned home, the girl secretly took his phone, closed in the bathroom and, being in touch with a woman, began to make translations under her dictation.
“I do not understand T-Bank Online,” says the girl. “Vladislav Andreevna said that she would say what to do, and I should take a screenshot after each operation and send it to her.”
Over the past week alone, 168 residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory remotely stole more than 68 million rubles. Since the beginning of the year, 7,145 residents of the region have become victims of Internet criminals. The damage caused – 2 billion 51 million rubles.
While the parents were looking for a missing phone, their daughter transferred 19.7 million rubles from her father’s accounts. To hide the traces, she hid the device behind the washing machine. The girl was scared and was afraid to tell her parents about what had happened – the false professor forbade to talk about it, otherwise their parents would be put in prison. “She said that this is a state secret,” the schoolgirl explained. However, then she nevertheless admitted to her parents.
Father immediately called the bank, but it was too late – the money went to the accounts of dummies. A criminal case of fraud has been instituted (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
