A resident of the Moscow region gave more than 150 million rubles to scammers in 5 months. The Telegram channel “Caution, Moscow” writes about this.
“The scammers started calling a businesswoman from Odintsovo. They introduced themselves to this woman as an employee of the FSB and Rosfinmonitoring,” the publication said.
It was specified that the attack continued for five months. All this time, the businesswoman followed the instructions of the scammers.
She was persuaded to sell her assets, borrow money, buy cryptocurrency and transfer the money to the courier. In total, the woman gave 153.71 million rubles to scammers.
The day before it became known that a frightened 73-year-old pensioner in Omsk gave more than 74 million rubles to scammers. An unknown person contacted her, introduced himself as an FSB officer and began to threaten her, claiming that the woman should face criminal liability for financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine and treason. At the same time, the scammer calls the victim via video link to demonstrate his uniform, official identification documents and even his office.
Believing the fraudster, the pensioner transferred 4.5 million rubles to unknown accounts, then prepared and put in his bag 7 gold bars, 50 gold coins and almost 10 thousand euros that were taken by the courier.
