A pensioner from Moscow became a victim of a large-scale fraudulent scheme, as a result of which she lost a large amount of money. In early December, an 83-year-old woman received a call from a man who introduced himself as an FSB officer and announced an allegedly impending transfer from her accounts in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The "investigator" offered to cooperate, and the pensioner agreed.
From December 3 to December 10, she repeatedly withdrew money from her deposits, as well as from her husband's accounts, and handed over cash to couriers who introduced themselves as employees of the FSB and the Central Bank. They made appointments in the courtyard of her house, while working out the password "Winter" for "security". After the last transfer of money, the woman went to the dacha and there realized that she had become a victim of a scam. According to the police, the damage amounted to 146 million rubles.
However, according to a person who contacted Baza journalists and called himself the executor of this scheme, the amount was even higher - about 165 million rubles. Money with a total weight of 27 kilograms was transferred to couriers in parts, then the cashed funds were transferred through a crypto exchanger.
The scammer, who allegedly worked for three years in a call center in Dnipro, claims that he is 19 years old and during this time he has earned about half a million dollars. With the funds from such crimes, he purchased real estate and several luxury cars. According to him, the organizers of the scheme divide the money among themselves according to interest: he, for example, receives 7% of the amount, couriers - 8% for everyone. Part of the funds is spent on bribing local security forces and, as he claims, on supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
