CrimeaPRESS reports:
Just yesterday in Sevastopol, three local residents, aged 22, 33 and 58, contacted the police because they had suffered from scammers using the most common deception schemes. The total amount of material damage amounted to about 4 million rubles.
Thefts of funds occurred under the pretext of protecting money in a bank account and under the pretext of betting on sports.
Their bank accounts were “protected” by a 22-year-old teacher and a 58-year-old pensioner, who were called by scammers under the guise of a law enforcement officer and “an employee of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation”, who were informed that their bank accounts were in danger, and criminals were trying to steal their money savings. The scammers convinced the victims to transfer all their money to accounts dictated by them. By following the instructions of the callers, residents of Sevastopol lost a total of more than 3 million rubles.
But the 33-year-old saleswoman decided to “earn extra money” on sports betting. A fraudster who introduced himself as a bookmaker wrote to her and said that he had information on fixed sports matches. For a percentage of the winnings, the attacker invited the woman to place a bet at one of the bookmakers. The victim transferred funds to the account specified by the swindler, after which he stopped communicating. Realizing that she was left not only without profit, but also without her own savings, the woman turned to the police.
According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol.
