An 84-year-old resident of Orenburg applied to the police department No. 5 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation "Orenburg" with a statement about the theft of funds belonging to her in the amount of 225,000 rubles.
During the investigation of the circumstances, the police officers found that the applicant received a call from an unknown person and, introducing himself as a bank employee, said that fraudsters were trying to steal money from her bank account. After that, the phone attacker explained that her personal savings stored at home must be transferred to a" secure account " through an ATM, to which the Orenburg woman replied that she could not reach it on her own. Then the cybercriminal offered the pensioner to transfer money in the amount of 225,000 rubles to a courier woman in her apartment, which she did.
In the course of operational search activities, employees of the criminal investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "Orenburg" on suspicion of embezzlement detained a 66-year-old resident of Orenburg who had no previous criminal record. Police officers found that the suspect had also received a call earlier from intruders who introduced themselves as law enforcement officers and bank employees. Unknown persons convinced the woman that her bank account is under threat of hacking, and explained that to prevent theft of funds, it is necessary to transfer money to a "secure account". After that, the woman transferred about 1,100,000 rubles to an unidentified account within two weeks, of which about 800,000 rubles were credit cards. After some time, malefactors again contacted the Orenburg woman and reported that her fellow countryman needed help, as she was in a similar situation, but was unable to save her savings due to health problems. Suspecting nothing, the woman decided to help the pensioner: she came to her home and took the money in the amount of 225,000, after which she transferred it through an ATM to a "safe account".
It is also established that the woman under this pretext took 150,000 rubles from another 86-year-old resident of Orenburg.
The Orenburg woman realized that she had become a victim of fraudsters only when she was detained by the criminal investigation department.
Currently, criminal cases have been initiated on all the facts on the grounds of a crime under Article 159 of the Criminal Code "Fraud". The article provides for a maximum penalty of up to ten years ' imprisonment.
