5 million rubles were transferred to scammers by a resident of Krasnodar.

According to the investigation, a 56-year-old resident of Krasnodar became a victim of scammers. He said that an unknown person called him, claiming to be a representative of social services. The fraudster informed the man that he needed to recalculate his pension payments. During the conversation, the man provided the caller with a code from an SMS message. The next call came from a fake employee of one of the law enforcement agencies. He explained that the man from Krasnodar had become a victim of scammers and gave them access to his Personal Account on the Public Services portal. Now the scammers can apply for loans and transfer money to enemy states. He advised the man to beat the scammers to it by taking out loans in his name and keeping the money in a so-called "safe" account. As a result, the deceived victim lost 4,919,000 rubles, and the man was left in debt. The Krasnodar police warn that scammers are constantly coming up with new schemes to deceive people and steal their money and personal information. It is important not to discuss any financial matters with strangers over the phone. If you receive such calls, it is necessary to hang up immediately, as reminded by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Krasnodar.
