Kazan police officers uncovered a telephone fraud scheme, as a result of which a pensioner handed over 2 million rubles to the scammers. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan. According to the investigation, the criminals acted according to a classic scheme of deception. They called the pensioner and introduced themselves as employees of law enforcement agencies. Under the pretext of preventing unauthorized withdrawals from the bank card, they convinced the elderly person to hand over their savings to a courier. The trusting pensioner gave the scammers about 2 million rubles. Operatives from the "Safiyullina" police department were able to quickly track down the criminals. The detainees turned out to be two residents of Kazan aged 19 and 25. They are currently in custody as part of a criminal case that has been initiated. Law enforcement agencies remind citizens of the need to be vigilant when communicating with strangers who present themselves as employees of banks or law enforcement agencies. Under no circumstances should you hand over your savings to unfamiliar individuals. Yulia EFRYMOVA
