In the capital, scammers tricked a 10-year-old girl into giving her mother's bank card details by involving the child in a seemingly harmless game of Roblox. The incident began with a friendly conversation on Telegram, where a new "friend" offered to help with in-game purchases by requesting photos of the card. The trusting girl provided the requested details, which resulted in a large debt for her family.
Several months passed before the mother, Ilona, learned about the non-existent loan for 231 thousand rubles that had been issued without her knowledge. A bank employee contacted the woman with a notice of late payment, although she claimed that she had never taken out loans, using only a debit card.
In desperation, Ilona contacted the police, but because the correspondence was deleted and the girl initially hid the incident from adults, the search for the criminals became more difficult. Now law enforcement agencies are trying to restore the lost data and help the family get their money back.
This case highlights the critical need for children to be educated about safe online behavior. Parents should strongly remind their children of the risks associated with disclosing personal or financial information online and actively monitor their virtual communications.
