In Sevastopol, three adult ladies transferred almost two million rubles to remote scammers

CrimeaPRESS reports:

Only yesterday, three women (all aged 50 to 56, that is, not naive girls, but not gullible pensioners) turned to the Sevastopol police with statements that they had lost their savings.

It was preliminary established that all the victims received calls on their mobile phones from unknown men who introduced themselves as law enforcement and investigative officers, and in one case as a bank employee, and reported that fraudsters were trying to steal money from their accounts. The frightened women believed the scammers and followed all their instructions — they transferred all their savings, a total of more than 1.7 million rubles, to supposedly safe settlement accounts dictated by them.— reported in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol.

The police emphasize that law enforcement officers or bank employees never call customers to warn of problems with a bank account and never convince them to transfer money to any accounts. This is done only by scammers in order to steal money.

Citizens (especially citizens), be careful and prudent, do not let scammers deceive you.
