A 56-year-old local resident reported to the Novokuznetsk police that an unknown person fraudulently issued loans on his behalf and stole money.
The police found out that an unknown person called the victim, introduced himself as a bank employee and said that because of an error in the computer program, the Novokuznetsk resident did not receive bonuses for using a debit bank card for a long time, the amount of which reached 8,000.
The caller noted that the citizen could transfer these bonuses to cash or spend them when making purchases. Having believed, the victim told him his personal data, called the card number, as well as the CVC code.
Then messages with passwords began to arrive on the Novokuznetsk resident's phone, which he also told the interlocutor. Having received all the necessary data, the swindler interrupted the conversation, explaining that in the near future bonuses will be listed.
A few days later, the man checked the bank's personal account through the app and did not find the promised reward. He turned to a bank branch, where an employee explained that several loans were issued on behalf of the victim, and the money was stolen.
Now operatives of the criminal investigation department identify the attacker. A criminal case was opened under Part 3 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code "Fraud", which provides for up to 6 years in prison.
