In the Amur Region, investigators of the Blagoveshchensk Leningrad Region of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on transport completed the investigation of a criminal case of remote fraud committed several years ago. A 26-year-old resident of the Republic of Crimea was charged with committing a crime.

It was established that in 2021, the defendant acquired a login and password for an account in one of the social networks in the shadow segment of the Internet, which belonged to a woman he did not know. Further, taking advantage of the information received, the attacker, on behalf of the citizen, sent a message to all her subscribers with a request to borrow money. The sister of the account owner, a resident of the Amur Region, responded to the appeal, who transferred 6,500 rubles to the account specified by the accused. After a while, both women found out about the scam, but did not contact the police.

In the spring of 2024, officers of the Trans-Baikal Line Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on Transport, during operational search activities, identified an unreported crime, contacted the victim and, during a business trip to Crimea, detained the attacker who deceived her. It turned out that he had previously been convicted of committing similar frauds. At the man's place of residence, a laptop was found and seized, with the help of which he carried out an illegal act against a resident of the Amur Region.

At present, the materials of the criminal case initiated under Part 2 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation have been sent to court for consideration.
