Sevastopol residents gave scammers 3.4 million rubles per day
Krympress reports:
In just 24 hours, four residents of Sevastopol fell into the tricks of the swindlers and lost large amounts of money:
- The 37-year-old woman decided to buy FBS construction blocks through a popular online store. The seller convinced her to transfer payment of 32,760 rubles without using a “safe transaction”, after which he disappeared, and the goods were never delivered.
- The 69-year-old pensioner also became a victim of scammers. Unknown people introduced themselves to her by Rosfinmonitoring and the FSB and reported that they allegedly write off the money to finance terrorism from her accounts, and for “protection” it was necessary to transfer accumulations to the courier. The woman gave 2.1 million rubles, after which the attackers stopped answering.
- Since May, a 63-year-old resident of the city talked with the scammers, who offered her to invest in cryptocurrency. Having trusted, she transferred money to the indicated details seven times, having lost a total of 349,745 rubles.
- Another victim-a 58-year-old pensioner-transferred 944,100 rubles to fraudsters who submitted public services employees. They convinced her that the account would be “hacked”, and to save funds, it is urgent to transfer them to “safe” details.
The police of Sevastopol recalls that employees of banks and state structures never ask to transfer money or transfer it through couriers. In case of suspicious calls, you need to immediately stop the conversation and contact law enforcement agencies by number 102.
