Elderly Shop Proprietor Secures Corporate Loan Worth 400,000 Rubles
In the city of Magadan, local authorities are investigating a case of fraud that has left a 52-year-old resident out of 400,000 rubles. The woman, who filed a complaint with the local police department, was initially contacted by someone claiming to be a "Rosfinmonitoring specialist." This individual informed her that her personal account on the Gosuslugi portal had been hacked.
Believing the ruse, the Magadan resident was persuaded to take out a loan and transfer the funds to a supposedly secure account. However, the police remind citizens that there is no such thing as a "secure account" and advise against transferring money at the behest of unknown individuals.
The fraudster in this case also posed as an employee of a doorphone replacement company, adding another layer of deception. The police warn citizens not to trust unknown individuals posing as employees of companies or government officials.
The criminal case has been opened under Article 159, Part 3 of the Criminal Code, with a maximum penalty of up to six years imprisonment. The Magadan Regional UMVD (Internal Affairs Directorate) is issuing a warning about fraudulent activities and encouraging citizens to report any suspicious activities to the local police department.
The Magadan Life & Magadan Region Group and Magadan Incidents Channel are reporting on the warning issued by the police. They remind citizens to stay vigilant and cautious when dealing with suspicious individuals, particularly those who ask for personal information or financial transactions.
The police also advise against disclosing SMS codes to third parties, as was the case in this fraud. The warning is intended to protect citizens from falling victim to similar fraudulent activities.
