An elderly local resident contacted the duty station of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Kaluga with a statement about the theft of funds in the amount of more than 270 thousand rubles from his bank card.
As the Kaluga resident said, he received a call from a stranger who introduced himself as a social service employee. The interlocutor said that the pensioner is entitled to a government payment. Then he asked to send his bank card details, supposedly for crediting funds.
Believing the stranger, the Kaluga resident told him the details, as well as the received codes in SMS notifications. After completing the conversation, the pensioner discovered that a large sum of money had been written off from his bank account. Then he contacted the police.
Based on this fact, the investigative unit of the Investigative Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Kaluga opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime provided for in paragraph “d” of Part 3 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Theft”.
During operational-search activities by criminal investigation officers, a person suspected of involvement in the commission of this act was identified. He turned out to be a 34-year-old resident of the Rostov region.
According to the police, the defendant, having received the Kaluga resident’s information unofficially, called him and told him a fictitious story about a cash payment. In reality, the attacker had no intention of paying any money to the pensioner, but wanted to get the victim’s savings. After the applicant announced the received codes, the person involved, having received the data for the applicant’s personal account, transferred his savings to his bank card. The man used the money he received at his own discretion.
The investigation is ongoing.
