In Kostroma, employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Regional Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, as a result of the implementation of operational information, detained a Moscow resident born in 2005 in the central district of the city, suspected of participating in fraud.
The police had information that the girl arrived at the regional center on the instructions of telephone scammers to steal money from an elderly woman. During her personal search and interview, these data were confirmed. The suspect was carrying a package containing 1.3 million rubles, as well as a fake ID card of an employee of the Central Bank of Russia. It turned out that she took a large amount of money from the pensioner in order to transfer it to the curators who hired her in the future. In addition, on the instructions of employers, the malefactor cleaned up the call history in the phone of the victim, with whom the scammers called up.
The messenger of swindlers explained to police officers that in February of the current year she became the victim of deception. After graduating from the Moscow university, she decided to take up distance tutoring and posted an ad about it on the Internet. The potential client who responded offered to make a secure transaction and sent her a link under the pretext of receiving payment. When the young teacher used this Internet address, instead of crediting money, she found that six thousand rubles were debited from the account.
Some time after the incident, the girl was contacted allegedly by a bank employee. They informed her that as a result of clicking on a phishing link, her personal data was obtained by third parties who are going to take loans on her behalf. The interlocutors suggested to protect themselves by making their credit history worse by making out the maximum number of debt obligations on their own. The Muscovite woman agreed and signed five loan agreements totaling almost 750 thousand rubles, and then transferred the funds received to accounts that were dictated to her by "financiers" over the phone.
Then the callers offered the aspiring teacher a job as a specialist of the Central Bank of Russia and even sent her a certificate. The work, according to the mentors, consisted of visiting clients at home, advising them and providing a number of services. The first task was a trip to Samara. There, on the instructions of employers, the girl took 750 thousand rubles from an elderly local resident, which she immediately transferred to third accounts, leaving herself a small percentage of the amount as a reward. Then she was sent to Kostroma, where she was detained by the police.
Investigators of the Kostroma police opened a criminal case against the resident of the capital under Part 3 of Article 30, Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Prior to the election of a preventive measure, the defendant was detained in accordance with Article 91 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and placed in a temporary detention facility. The money withdrawn from her will be returned to the victim.
