In Kursk, a mother and daughter transferred 410 thousand rubles to scammers. A false representative of the Ministry of Education called a young girl working as a school teacher. He said that together with law enforcement officers an operation is being carried out to uncover the fraudulent scheme. The attackers convinced the Kuryan woman that a suspicious transaction had been recorded on her account, which should be stopped immediately.
