04/26/2024, /=RO=/A 30-year-old resident of Kamensk contacted the police, who, while looking for work, posted her resume on specialized websites. After which, she received a call on her phone with an offer to earn money in the form of investments with high interest rates. This was reported by the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Rostov region.
“Having gained trust, the defendants convinced the woman to agree to strictly act according to their instructions, without having her own funds. She used a credit card and began making investments for which she received payments twice in small amounts, the report says.
Later, the applicant completed an online application for a car loan, transferring all her savings to the account specified by the scammers. For two weeks, the scammers continued to call her, claiming that she was having problems with her account and trying to persuade her to transfer more money to it.
Following the scammers’ instructions, the woman applied for several more loans online from various credit institutions, including for her family members. In addition, she withdrew money from her relative’s credit card, so she transferred more than 1,200,000 rubles to her non-existent account.
A criminal case has been initiated on this fact.
