A 28-year-old local resident turned to the duty unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Abakan with a statement that someone had issued a number of microloans to her in various credit institutions. The victim learned about this when she received letters of notification of the issuance of funds by e-mail.
On this fact, the investigator of the city Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia initiated a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Part 1 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
As a result of the operational-search measures, officers of the department for combating the illegal use of information and communication technologies detained a suspect in the scam. He turned out to be a 21-year-old resident of the village of Ust-Abakan.
According to preliminary information, the attacker purchased SIM cards from a representative of the mobile operator and used an Internet bot to check whether their former owners issued microloans tied to a phone number. So he found a subscriber number that previously belonged to the victim. With its help, the attacker restored access to her personal accounts and issued 8 express loans there for a total of 150 thousand rubles. He transferred the funds to his bank card and disposed of them at his discretion.
As part of a search in a private house at the attacker's place of residence, cyber police seized 131 SIM cards, cell phones, means of payment and hard drives. They are currently being checked for use in the commission of similar crimes.
In the near future, the previously initiated criminal case will be reclassified under Article 159.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Fraud in the field of lending". Now the police are establishing other facts of the suspect's illegal activities.
