A resident of Nizhnekamsk lost a large sum of money after failing to recognize the scammers in time.

      In the police, the 22-year-old victim reported that scammers convinced her to send them 498,000 rubles. A criminal case has been initiated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Nizhnekamsk district on the grounds of a crime under part 3 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Fraud committed on a large scale." The investigation established that the criminal scheme was implemented in several stages. First, the victim received a call from someone pretending to be an employee of a mobile company, who tricked her into providing a code from an SMS. Then, fake employees from the State Services and the Central Bank got involved. They convinced the girl to transfer money supposedly for checking its security. As soon as the criminals received the money, they stopped communicating. Currently, investigative actions and operational-search measures are being conducted to identify the individuals involved in the crime. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan reminds: employees of banks, State Services, and mobile operators never ask for codes from SMS and do not offer to transfer money "for verification." In all suspicious calls, one should terminate the conversation and independently contact the organization through official channels.
