In Astrakhan, a local resident was deceived for a large amount of money
No matter how much talk about the need to be more careful when it comes to money and offers from strangers, Astrakhan people continue to fall for the tricks of scammers.
The pensioner received a call from a woman who introduced herself as an employee of the capital’s prosecutor’s office. She told the gullible man that he was a client of a medical insurance company, which was no longer valid, and he was entitled to compensation in the form of a huge amount of money – five million rubles.
The Astrakhan was so delighted with the unexpected turn of fate that, without hesitation, he transferred seven hundred twenty-nine thousand rubles in cash through the terminal to the account number indicated to him, allegedly for paperwork and opening a bank safe, as well as paying tax. However, after the transfer of the entire amount, the Moscow stranger stopped communicating.
Only after that, the man realized that he had been deceived and went to the police with a statement. Be careful and careful! Do not fall for the tricks of fraudsters and immediately contact the law enforcement agencies in case of an attempt to “dissolve” you.
