A resident of the Irkutsk region trusted scammers and sent them more than eight million rubles. This was reported by control Ministry of Internal Affairs for the region.
The scammers contacted the Russian woman in June and had been deceiving her the entire time. The attacker introduced himself as an “investment manager” and offered to make money for the Russian woman.
As a result, the victim initially deposited money into a “brokerage account” and downloaded the app. He then began making transactions and loading different amounts into his account. At some point, he contacted the bank and after granting a loan, transferred the money to unknown persons.
“It was not possible to receive the promised profits and deposits; fake investors stopped communicating,” the ministry said.
Russian woman realized that she was deceived. In total, the scammers defrauded the victim of 8.5 million rubles.
Police reminded that scammers often offer victims easy money for investments, so it is important to be careful when communicating with strangers.
Previously Russian translated scammers took 28.4 million rubles, which he had saved for 30 years.
