Krympress reports:
Last week, a 78-year-old resident of Yalta in the Telegram messenger called a man who introduced himself as his old acquaintance. Once they worked together in a large corporation, but for a long time they did not keep in touch.
During a friendly conversation, the man told his friend that law enforcement agencies were conducting an audit against him and his former colleagues. To clarify the circumstances of him, they will be additionally contacted. A few hours later, a imaginary law enforcement officer called Yalta, who explained that a criminal case had been instituted against him, in the fact of transferring funds from his banking account to a person related to the prohibited organization. The man began to deny his involvement in such activities. Then he was asked to cash out all his savings and put on a “safe account”. The gullible pensioner, following the instructions of the caller, withdrew more than 46 million rubles in several banks of the city and transferred all the money to scammers, only then realizing that he was a victim of deception,-voiced the details of history in the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Crimea.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Republic of Crimea warns citizens: law enforcement officers do not call by the means of messengers! There are no “safe accounts” to save funds!
If you are a victim of scammers, immediately report this to the police either by a single number 102, or contact a written statement to any nearest police department.
