Employees of the department for combating cybercrime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, together with colleagues from the Krasnodar Territory, identified two residents of Moscow and the Moscow region temporarily residing in the Kuban, who helped online scammers steal 1.27 million rubles from a 41-year-old resident of Cherkessk by deception.
It was previously established that in the summer of 2022, having access to certain databases of one of the financial organizations in Russia, the attackers called the victim, who left a request to increase her savings.
The scammers, posing as brokers, convinced the woman to first invest 20 thousand rubles, which she transferred to the account they specified. A few days later, they reported that the invested money had already generated income, and began to defraud her of large sums. At first, the Cherkessk resident believed that she was making money from investments, but when she wanted to get increased capital, scammers began to convince her that for certain reasons it was impossible to do this.
Having lost more than 1 million rubles, the citizen realized that she had been deceived and contacted the police. The investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the city of Cherkessk opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The investigation established that residents of Moscow and the Moscow region suspected of the crime were members of a criminal group. Their role was to withdraw funds through bank cards issued to other persons. They sent the money minus their profits to their curators, who, according to operatives, are located abroad.
The investigation is ongoing.
