A criminal case has been opened in Kaluga for fraud on an especially large scale, reports Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kaluga region.
It all started when a stranger called a local resident and stunned him with a message that his account on the State Services portal had been hacked and someone was trying to take out a loan in his name. To restore access, she asked for the code from the notification, which the Kaluga resident did.
After some time, a man called him, supposedly from the bank. He advised me to send my savings to a “safe” account and apply for a matching loan. Under his dictation, a resident of Kaluga transferred over 2.4 million rubles to the stated details and only after that contacted the police.
Earlier, another Kaluga resident believed the scammers and sent them 21 million rubles.
