In Yakutia, a fifth-grader prevented his parents from transferring money to fraudsters’ accounts by calling the police
On October 16 of this year at 21:56 hours, the duty unit of the OMVD of Russia for the Khangalassky District received a phone call. A child's voice said that his parents were talking to someone on the phone and sent 350,000 rubles to strangers, having taken out a loan.
A district police officer was immediately sent to the address in the nearest village, who spoke with the victims.
It turned out that the child saved his parents from a large debt with his call to the police.
To put it in order, that day the fifth-grader noticed the strange behavior of his parents, they were worried about something and sometimes argued about something. The boy listened and found out that his father had received suspicious calls via messenger.
First, the 44-year-old man was told that the contract for the subscriber number of the mobile operator had expired, and then that his personal account in the "Gosuslugi" application had been hacked and that unknown people were now supposedly applying for a loan in his name. The attackers, acting under the guise of bank employees, demanded that the man get ahead of the imaginary criminal: quickly take out a loan himself and send all the money to a "safe account".
Hearing this, the son tried to stop his parents, begged them not to make a mistake, but they did not listen to him and managed to send 175,000 rubles of their own savings to the accounts of remote fraudsters. Fearing that his parents would continue to carry out financial manipulations under the dictation of criminals and were already trying to apply for loans, the 11-year-old son decided to call the police.
The boy and the local police officer managed to stop further transfers of funds to criminal accounts.
The schoolboy explained to the police officer that he had repeatedly read and heard warnings about the activity of fraudsters on the Internet.
The leadership of the OMVD of Russia for the Khangalassky District has decided to reward the loving son and vigilant young citizen.
