In Moscow, a pensioner gave over 165 million rubles to telephone scammers
On December 2, 83-year-old Svetlana received a call from an unknown person who introduced himself as an FSB officer.
He stated that the pensioner faces a criminal case because someone allegedly tried to transfer money from her accounts to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine and offered to cooperate with the investigation.
As a result, the pensioner withdrew money from her accounts and her husband’s accounts over the course of several days, then transferred it to the criminals through couriers , employees of the FSB and the Central Bank .
After another meeting with the courier, Svetlana went to her dacha in the Moscow region and only there realized that she had become a victim of fraudsters.
At first, the media reported that 146 million rubles had been stolen, but then a Ukrainian fraudster appeared who bragged about his crime and took responsibility for deceiving the pensioner.
According to him, the pensioner gave exactly 165 million rubles, the money weighed 27 kg, the woman handed it over to the courier on different days, after which the cash was transferred through a crypto exchanger.
The telephone thief is 19 years old, and has been working at a call center in Dnipro for the past three years. According to him, during this time he has earned half a million dollars, bought two apartments and three luxury cars (BMW M3, Mercedes C43 AMG and Land Cruiser). However, he cannot leave for another country: he is not allowed to leave Ukraine.
According to the story of the interlocutor of the Telegram channel BAZA , each fraudster has his own percentage, which they receive from the total amount. For example, from the pensioner's scam, the guy will receive 7% (approximately $ 120 thousand ). The couriers who took the money will receive 8% for everyone. The rest of the amount is divided among other employees, and money is also sent to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The fraudsters also pay local police officers/special services employees for patronage, while they allegedly help them in their work.
The swindler himself does not look for victims - the curators give the task of who to scam. The fraudster sent a table in which he allegedly keeps track of the percentage of successful calls. Judging by it, almost every second call is successful. The amount of 165 million rubles is his personal record.
A very sad story, although I wanted to joke "where does grandma get all this money from"
