A rake jumping champion has been found: a year later, the same scammers scammed the Russian woman for the second time - they called and said that they allegedly wanted to return the investment.
A resident of the Lipetsk region became a victim of scammers. A year ago, the woman already fell for the bait of scammers who defrauded her of about 1 million rubles. A year later, old acquaintances got in touch again and reported that they had not stolen her money at all, but “put it into circulation” and made good money on investments, and are now ready to share the profit and pay the woman her share.
She, on their advice, went to her friend for help. The 44-year-old neighbor listened to her friend and did everything as the scammers told her via video call - she dictated the numbers for which the bank accounts and codes from SMS messages were issued. To prevent the disappearance of the money from being immediately noticeable, she was prohibited from opening the banking application for one day, as this would supposedly “interfere with monetary transactions.”
The woman’s phone began to literally explode with SMS messages about money being written off, but she stubbornly believed in the best. She told her daughter, who tried to stop her, that the phone should not be touched until all the money was transferred to her. The intervention of the younger generation saved the victim from complete ruin, but some of the money still went to the scammers.
What conclusions can be drawn from this news? Usually, people who fall for this type of fraud are completely devoid of any critical thinking and that is why databases with them are very expensive. If your acquaintance/friend/relative has fallen for such a primitive scheme at least once, then it is better for him to close all electronic accounts altogether.
