Two residents of the Kalmyk capital, believing the promises of telephone scammers, lost a total of more than 132 thousand rubles.

In the first case, a 60-year-old Elista was flattered by a lucrative offer from a stranger to work remotely. The “employer” persuaded her to hand over the bank card details, and after writing off more than 12 thousand rubles, he stopped communicating.

In the second case, a 47-year-old Elista entered into a dialogue with an alleged bank employee, who informed her about the approval of a loan in the amount of two million rubles. They say that to receive it, you need to pay for insurance, courier services, etc. As a result, after transferring 110 thousand rubles, the woman did not wait for the loan.

Based on these facts, the police have initiated criminal cases, and measures are being taken to identify the persons involved in the commission of this crime. reported by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
