In Krasnoyarsk, a pensioner instead of transferring money to a “safe score” handed over the police fraudsters

The elderly Krasnoyarian showed vigilance while trying to take possession of his money.

According to the police, in September of this year, unknown people called the 78-year-old Krasnoyarsk. The interlocutor said that the intercom is being changed in the entrance and it is urgent to announce all the personal data to allocate new chips. The pensioner reported all the information and hung up.

The realization that this is a fraudulent scam came after a call from the “law enforcement agencies”: an elderly man was informed that he helps attackers, and it is urgent to transfer all the available funds to a “safe” account to help the scammers catch. Grandfather interrupted the conversation.

In the evening, a doorbell rang: the courier brought a package of documents that reported that the owner of the apartment transferred money to the account of the accomplice of criminals. However, it was not possible to intimidate the pensioner: he went to the bank, withdrew all the money, brought home and went to the police with all the documents.

Law enforcement officers opened a criminal case of attempted fraud and began an investigation. The pensioner was advised to go to the MFC and put self -corruption for loans and the sale of an apartment, and return the money to his account.
