Employees of the Department for Combating the Illegal Use of Information and Telecommunications Technologies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region detained a 27-year-old resident of the Leningrad Region, who played the role of a messenger for the money of victims of fraud in a criminal scheme of remote scammers.
It was previously established that the attacker, acting on the instructions of unidentified curators, came home to residents of St. Petersburg, who had previously received calls allegedly from law enforcement officers. Telephone scammers convinced citizens that their savings were in danger, and the money needed to be transferred to a "safe account".
The detainee came to a meeting with victims with a special electronic reader, through which financial transactions were made to the accounts of fraudsters.
After the arrest of the assistant of scammers, the police searched his apartment on Angliyskaya Street in the village of Bugry, Vsevolozhsky district of the Leningrad region, where they found and seized 4 bank cards, mobile phones with correspondence exposing the illegal activities of the attacker, as well as NFC readers.
The Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Vyborg district of St. Petersburg opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The man was given a preventive measure in the form of remand in custody. He is suspected of committing five illegal acts in the amount of more than 1.5 million rubles.
