In the Irkutsk region, the police are checking on the fact of telephone fraud. In total, the woman transferred to unknown persons about 40 thousand rubles.
According to law enforcement agencies, six months ago, the victim ordered mushrooms to grow on the windowsill. She paid for the goods worth 10 thousand rubles. The woman received a parcel with earth, from which mushrooms could not be grown.
Later, unknown persons called the woman who described the situation with the mushrooms and promised compensation in the amount of 580 thousand rubles. However, in order to receive funds, a resident of the Irkutsk region allegedly had to pay a tax in the amount of 30 thousand rubles. The woman transferred funds to the specified account, writes IA IrkutskMedia.
When the woman realized that she had become a victim of the same scammers twice, she went to the police.
Earlier it was reported that a resident of Yakutsk transferred more than 1.4 million rubles to the scammers. The victim trusted the advertisement about making money on trading binary auctions and, according to the instructions of the cybercriminals, installed a program for remote access on the computer. Also, to make a profit, the victim took out loans.
