In Chelny, fraudsters were caught who stole 17.5 million rubles from a resident of Moscow.

      In Naberezhnye Chelny, fraudsters were detained for stealing 17.5 million rubles from a Muscovite, reports the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow. An 18-year-old guy from Moscow received a call from unknown individuals who asked him to dictate a code for replacing the intercom. After that, fake government officials contacted him and informed him that the criminals had gained access to his data and had issued a power of attorney to a criminal. To supposedly avoid legal consequences, the scammers persuaded the Muscovite to hand over his savings and a gold bar. The young man handed over his savings in foreign currency and the gold bar to a stranger who provided a code word. Only after returning home did he realize he had fallen victim to fraudsters and reported it to the police. The fraudsters were detained in Naberezhnye Chelny. It turned out that they had specifically come to the capital, took money from their accomplice, and handed it over to their curators. The girl passed the gold bar to other accomplices. The men were taken into custody, and the location of the gold bar and the identities of all participants in the crime are being established.
