Read to the end!
A story about human naivety, gullibility, stupidity, isolation from real life… emphasize what needs to be emphasized. So, a certain Simferopol resident answered the call on WhatsApp — a “bank employee” called. To be convincing, the latter even sent a photocopy of his “service ID.” Has everyone already realized that it was a scammer calling? The Simferopol resident did not understand. Well, the scammer, in his holy eye, reported that a loan had been issued in the name of a citizen and a certain citizen was trying to cash out 2 million rubles. In order for her not to have time to do this, he urgently needs to put the specified amount into the “box” of the bank’s security service, and he also needs to download a remote access application to a mobile device onto his phone to check other accounts.
A resident of Simferopol took out his first loan online in the amount of 245 thousand rubles and transferred it to a dictated account. After which the victim received a call from a fake police officer, who even sent him a message with the details of a real officer to confirm his credentials. The victim himself contacted the real officer at the police department and realized that another person had called him.
The real policeman explained to the man that he had fallen for the scammers’ tricks. That would be the end of the story… But the Simferopol resident did not believe the district police officer.
The naive man… continued to answer the calls he received from scammers. Because he believed in people (probably). Well, they are happy to suffer… In order to convince their victim of the veracity of the stories, the attackers connected him with the “head of the bank’s security department” via video link, who strongly recommended continuing to “save” 2 million rubles. Thus, the victim… obtained loans from 4 more banks.
After each loan taken out, the man was sent forged documents allegedly confirming that the loan obligations had been fulfilled and the money was in a “special bank security locker.”
Being under the constant influence of callers, the man… even went to the mainland of the Russian Federation, where he unblocked his last bank card and took out a loan for another 300 thousand rubles.
You will laugh, but the scammers did not stop there and demanded that you pay a state fee for the services provided by the bank. The applicant, having borrowed 200 thousand rubles from friends, transferred the borrowed money to the specified account. After that the calls stopped.
As a result, the police take over the case. To be honest, the chances of getting your money back are not very high. Well, the Simferopol resident… The man admitted that he had heard about fraudulent schemes, but hoped that this would not happen to him.
