Norilsk nurse transferred 4.5 million rubles / incidents of Krasnoyarsk and Krasnoyarsk Territory to fraudsters / Newslab.ru

The 48-year-old nurse from Norilsk fell on the tricks of telephone scammers and lost a large amount.

According to the regional prosecutor’s office, in May of this year, a resident of Norilsk was called a certain employee of the Poster Delivery Service. The stranger convinced the victim that her recently sent parcel was damaged, and to “establish a person” asked to name an SMS code. The woman believed the interlocutor and called the combination of numbers, opening access to her finances.

Soon the situation was aggravated by a new call. Now the criminals acted on behalf of Roskomnadzor. Introducing himself as employees of the department, they told the victim that a large loan was issued for it. To prevent financial losses, the woman was asked to immediately transfer her own funds to a “safe account”.

The victim hastened to follow the recommendations of false aggressors. She visited the nearest ATM and, according to the instructions of the scammers, transferred 4.2 million rubles to “nowhere”. In addition, she was convinced to issue a loan at the bank, and the proceeds of 300 thousand rubles. Also send to the fake “safe score”.

“Everything happened so rapidly and convincingly that I could not realize the scale of the fraud in time,” the victim admits.

The insidiousness of the situation was also in the subsequent actions of fraudsters, the prosecutor’s office noted: one of them again contacted the woman, posing as a law enforcement officer, pushing her to continue interaction with false representatives of state structures.

A criminal case of fraud has been instituted (Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
