A local resident turned to the Sochi police with a report of fraud. According to the applicant, the head of the organization in which he used to work wrote to him in the messenger and said that a criminal case had been opened against one of their employees. The ex-boss asked the interlocutor to assist law enforcement agencies in the investigation. Then a pseudo-law enforcement officer called the man and notified that the fraudsters had taken out a loan in his name and planned to use the borrowed money to finance a banned organization, but in order to stop their actions, it was necessary to urgently transfer their savings to a "safe account".

The victim, acting on the instructions of the caller, purchased a mobile phone, installed a special application on it, with the help of which he transferred personal savings in the amount of about 2 million rubles to a "safe account". In addition, the man, at the direction of the fraudsters, took out a loan in the amount of 1 million rubles and transferred this money to the specified account.

As a result of a set of operational-search and special technical measures, officers of the CID of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the city of Sochi identified two men involved in the commission of this crime. As part of a business trip, operatives detained two residents of Novosibirsk at the age of 45. One of the men played the role of a lawyer and cashier in the criminal scheme, the second deceived the victim. The police seized about half a million rubles from one of the attackers.

A criminal case was initiated against the suspects by the investigative unit of the police department of the Central District of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the city of Sochi on the grounds of a crime under part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Fraud". The sanctions of this part of the article provide for a maximum sentence of imprisonment for up to ten years. For the period of the preliminary investigation, one of the men was taken into custody, the second was chosen a preventive measure in the form of a recognizance not to leave and proper behavior.
