A security guard from Kiselevsk tried to make money on the stock exchange, and ended up transferring about 7.2 million rubles to scammers in less than 2 months
In early August, a resident of Kiselevsk, while playing an online game on his phone, noticed an advertising banner of an exchange company. He filled out a form, indicated his contact information, and then explained to the manager that he would like to earn from 200,000 rubles a month. Such a motivated applicant was assigned a personal consultant, and under his dictation, the resident of Kiselevsk installed a program for making video calls, as well as an application of the Internet exchange itself, where a personal account was created for him. The man completed a short training video course and learned the main rule: you need to deposit as much as possible into the account so that the money "works".
He took out a loan of 1.5 million rubles allegedly to buy a car, took out a loan of 2 million rubles using his own apartment as collateral, pawned his Nissan X-Trail for 580,000 rubles, borrowed 1.1 million rubles from a friend and, together with his savings, transferred a total of about 7.2 million rubles to different accounts.
It is noteworthy that the victim knew about this fraudulent scheme from the media, but continued to make transfers, not paying attention to the fact that he was transferring large sums to the mobile numbers of unknown citizens. After the last cash tranche, the exchange "specialists" disappeared from contact, and the man's personal account in the application was blocked. Then the Kiselevsk resident contacted the police.
Now the scammers are being identified by criminal investigation officers. The investigator of the OMVD of Russia for the city of Kiselevsk opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Fraud", which provides for up to 10 years of imprisonment.
