The man explained that unknown persons stole 1.2 million rubles from his aunt.The police found out that the pensioner was told by phone that her nephew allegedly caused the accident. Under the pretext of helping a loved one avoid criminal liability, the swindlers convinced an elderly woman to collect all her savings and give them to the courier who arrived at her place.As a result of operational search activities, criminal investigation officers of the territorial police department identified the messenger and detained him in the city of Aldan, which is located more than 238 kilometers from the victim’s place of residence. He turned out to be an 18-year-old local resident.A student from one of the educational institutions admitted to his crime and said that he found an offer for such criminal work on the Internet.

The text indicated that a certain person would call her back to help in the difficult situation that had arisen. After some time, this man contacted her and said that attackers had gained access to her bank account, and therefore it was necessary to withdraw all savings and transfer them to a secure account.Then the deceived Muscovite received a call from an alleged employee of a financial institution and a law enforcement officer. The scammers convinced her to follow all the instructions, as a result of which the victim went to the bank, cashed out over 6.6 million rubles and gave her savings to a young man on an electric scooter. At the same time, for persuasiveness, the messenger named the code word assigned to the woman by the swindlers.A similar story happened to an 85-year-old victim living in the Novogireevo area. She received a call from an unknown person. The interlocutor told the pensioner that someone was trying to withdraw money from her bank account. Acting on the instructions of the swindler, the grandmother independently cashed out all the money she had in the amount of 730 thousand rubles, which she gave to a stranger near the house on Federative Avenue to protect her savings from theft.It was previously established that all the detained citizens acted as criminal couriers and, having taken the money, transferred it to the accounts indicated to them. For both facts of deception, criminal cases were initiated under Parts 3 and 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The defendants were charged and a preventive measure in the form of house arrest was chosen. The investigation is ongoing.</blockquote>
