A townswoman from Smolensk, whose year of birth is recorded in the metric as 1939, suffered from the actions of fraudsters. Smolyanka went to the police, saying that she had lost 255,000 rubles. As you told the press service of the Russian MIA Administration for the Smolensk Region on January 8, an elderly woman was deceived by the threat of losing her savings in a telephone conversation. The interlocutor, according to the already traditional scheme of fraud, introduced himself as a bank employee. The woman, following his instructions, which were supposed to “secure” her deposits, went to an ATM in a shopping center and transferred her money to an account, which she wrote down on a piece of paper under the dictation of a pseudo bank employee.
For several days, the old woman waited for the caller to confirm that her funds were now safe. But he sank into the water.
A check is carried out on the fact of fraud. It was established that the attacker called from a subscriber number registered in Moscow.
