A pensioner spent a year communicating with telephone scammers and handed over almost 90 million rubles to couriers
A year ago, in November 2023, an 86-year-old Muscovite received a call from an unknown person, who introduced himself as an investigator and said that she was being "taken care of" by scammers and that all her savings could be stolen by unknown persons. "We need to urgently withdraw all the money and transfer it to safe accounts," the telephone scammer explained to the worried woman.
Then, during the year, there were both fake bankers and fake law enforcement officers, on whose instructions the victim withdrew various amounts from her accounts - from 300 thousand to 23 million rubles and handed them over to the couriers who arrived. The woman gave away all her savings, as well as money from the sale of bank shares and an apartment on Entuziastov Highway.
Realizing that she had become a victim of fraud, the pensioner contacted law enforcement agencies.
The establishment of all the circumstances is under the control of the prosecutor's office.
