In less than a week, a Muscovite transferred tens of millions of rubles to scammers.
Details were reported on Wednesday, August 7, on the Telegram channel of the press service of the capital's prosecutor's office.
Telephone scammers attacked the owner of a large sum of money. The criminals presented themselves as law enforcement officers and bank employees.
The scammers used a video call and a fake service ID to persuade the suspects.
A Muscovite was warned that an attempt had been recorded to write off funds from his accounts and obtain loans in his name.
During a video call, the scammers managed to intimidate the Russian, who transferred his money to "safe" accounts. In six days, the pensioner made 90 transfers.
The Muscovite suspected fraud at the moment when he transferred 82.8 million rubles, and the scammers meanwhile began asking about the presence of jewelry.
The prosecutor's office reminded that only criminals talk about transferring funds to a "safe" account.
If an unknown person claims that an attempt was made to write off funds from the accounts, you need to end the conversation, call the bank and clarify all the information.
