In Yekaterinburg, a large sum of money was stolen from the 85-year-old blockade of the Great Patriotic War – 1.2 million rubles, informs portal E1. This was told by the niece of the pensioner, whom the fraudster pretended to be.
“The woman who was pretending to be me said that I had an accident, that she was crossing the road at a red light and I was hit by a car. In this fictional accident, the driver, a woman pregnant with twins, was injured. They demanded money from my aunt to keep me out of jail. She gave it away, ”said the victim’s niece.
She also added that the attackers had carefully thought out the scheme of deception. So, when during a conversation at some point the pensioner nevertheless noticed a difference in her voice with her niece, the woman explained this by the consequences of an accident. They came to the blockade twice, taking 800 thousand rubles the first time, and 400 thousand the second.
A man who spoke to her on the phone on behalf of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked her not to tell anyone about the incident, otherwise he would be fired from his job. The money, according to the pensioner’s niece, he demanded not for a bribe, but for an expensive operation necessary for the injured woman.
Earlier it became known that telephone scammers began to deceive Russians, introducing themselves to pensioners as employees of the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) and warn them about the “reduction” of payments. So the 76-year-old Muscovite gave 75 thousand rubles, following the instructions of the attackers.
