Another case of theft of a large sum of money has occurred in the capital.
The scammers gained the pensioner’s trust and deceived the victim into selling her apartment.
The Moscow prosecutor's office reported the incident on its Telegram channel.
It is specified that in total the pensioner lost more than 25.6 million rubles as a result.
Circumstances of the incident
As the investigation revealed, the scammers “worked on” the 75-year-old woman for a month.
Pretending to be law enforcement officers, the scammers gained the woman’s trust and forced her to sell her apartment.
However, the deception did not end there. The swindlers found out that the Muscovite owned another apartment and forced her to sell the property as well, allegedly to avoid arrest.
In total, the criminals took possession of more than 25.6 million rubles, which the woman herself gave to them.
For reference
Fraud , or swindling, is the theft of someone else's property or the acquisition of rights to someone else's property through deception or abuse of trust.
