       Since the spring of this year, an 84-year-old resident of Naberezhnye Chelny has been handing over her savings to a young man who allegedly took the funds for "proper declaration."

       A criminal case has been opened in Naberezhnye Chelny against the scammers who deceitfully stole over 2 million rubles from the 84-year-old local resident. The pensioner, believing in the legend of "checking savings," handed her money to an anonymous courier for several months. As law enforcement established, the tragedy began in the spring with a phone call to the pensioner's landline. An unknown man, introducing himself as an employee of a reputable organization, warned the woman about a total check of savings among pensioners. He skillfully convinced her that all funds not undergoing a special "declaration" were subject to seizure and further "declaration." According to the publication "Chelny News," to avoid trouble, he offered his help in delivering the banknotes "to the destination." The trusting resident of Chelny first handed over 1 million rubles to the arriving courier. After some time, following the scammers' instructions, she gave him another million. In his third and final visit, the courier took the remaining 175 thousand rubles from the pensioner. The elderly woman only realized she had been deceived when her attempts to inquire about the fate of her savings and the timelines for their return went unanswered. The phones she had communicated with the "employee" on stopped responding. A criminal case has been opened regarding the theft of funds under part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Fraud." The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan recommends being vigilant and following financial security rules. Previously, in Tatarstan, a teenager became a victim of a large-scale scam, losing over 2 million rubles along with their parents.
