The Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Belebeyevsky district received a message from a local resident about fraud. Scammers swindled the applicant out of more than 2 million rubles. They called under the guise of employees of a mobile company and offered to extend the validity period of the SIM card number. Having succumbed to the influence of intruders, the 40-year-old man himself did not notice how he sent the money.
Following the digital trail, the criminal investigation department of the district police, together with colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Bashkortostan, identified and detained a student of one of the Ufa colleges. This is a 19-year-old young man who came to Russia from Ukraine in the summer of 2022.
As previously established by the police, in his homeland, he still has friends who work in the call center of telephone scammers. They call the residents of our country and extort money from them under various pretexts. The student decided to join the illegal business. He took it upon himself to search for people willing to provide him with their bank accounts, through which the savings of citizens stolen by fraudsters were subsequently transferred. For this, he paid a small percentage.
According to the police, the attacker involved other students and acquaintances in the criminal scheme. Some of them he brought up to date on the legality of transactions, and others remained in the dark. The henchmen received money on their cards and sent it to him, and he, in turn, transferred the collected amount to accomplices in Ukraine.
A criminal case has been opened against the 19-year-old suspect and a preventive measure in the form of remand in custody has been chosen. The police identified one of his assistants – a student of the same college, who knew that he was contributing to the commission of crimes. He was given a preventive measure in the form of recognizance not to leave and proper behavior.
Currently, the police are establishing all the facts of illegal activities, which may involve the suspects, as well as their possible accomplices.
