In Kurgan, a man fell for the tricks of scammers and transferred a large sum of money.
A 65-year-old resident of Kurgan received a call from scammers. Under the pretext of preventing unauthorized transactions with funds, the strangers convinced the man to follow their instructions.
“The attackers had a psychological impact on the citizen, as a result of which the pensioner transferred more than 240 thousand rubles to the scammers, some of which were personal savings, as well as cashed out money from a credit card,” commented the Regional Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Kurgan region.
After this, the scammers convinced the victim to contact the bank and apply for another loan. However, the head of the bank office drew the attention of the excited man. The client was constantly talking on the phone and reporting on his actions. Information about the illegal act was transferred to the police, which prevented further theft of funds, the department added.
Based on this fact, the investigator of the police department No. 1 of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Kurgan opened a criminal case under Part 2 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Fraud”. The maximum sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of up to five years.
