A 41-year-old local resident working as an electrician at a factory turned to the duty unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Anzhero-Sudzhensk urban district. The man reported that unknown persons had fraudulently stolen 5 million rubles from him, part of which was issued on credit.
The police found out that about a month ago, a stranger called a citizen on a messenger, who introduced himself as a specialist in trading on the exchange market and offered to make money on investments in exchange assets. The interlocutor agreed, installed a special application on his phone and created an account.
Having replenished his account with 22,000 rubles, after some operations carried out by a specialist, the applicant saw that his balance had increased by several dollars. Soon, a "stock exchange analyst" contacted him and offered to invest a larger amount for more earnings. Then the Anzhero-Sudzhenets took out a loan for 1.2 million rubles and transferred the money to the specified details. He watched the growing income in his personal account under the supervision of another "analyst".
A few days ago, the man discovered that there were more than 40 thousand dollars in his account, but the account was blocked due to the fact that he allegedly exceeded the limit of earnings per day. Then he was persuaded to open a so-called safe deposit box and put 600,000 rubles there, but this did not help. Subsequently, he made several more large transfers to the specified phone numbers, trying to unblock the account and withdraw funds. The total amount of funds transferred amounted to 5 million rubles.
After the next tranche of money, the "analysts" stopped responding to his calls and messages. The victim realized that all this time he had been communicating with fraudsters, and reported the incident to the police.
Criminal investigation officers are identifying the attackers. An investigator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Anzhero-Sudzhensky urban district initiated a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Fraud", which provides for up to 10 years in prison.
Since the beginning of the year, fraudsters have already stolen more than 1.65 billion rubles from residents of the region. In the last day alone, Kuzbass residents gave over 8,5 million rubles to attackers, 14 people became victims of remote theft and fraud.
