Fake security service employees forced a pensioner from Leninogorsk to hand over 2 million rubles.

      The cash was handed over to the courier. In Leninogorsk, a 71-year-old woman transferred more than 2 million rubles to scammers, fearing for her savings. The criminals called her pretending to be employees of the Pension Fund and the FSB, claiming that her money was to be sent for the needs of terrorists. This was reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan. To "save" her savings, the woman was forced to withdraw all her money from the bank. She was told that the banknotes needed to be checked for "invisible ink." As a result, the pensioner handed over the entire amount to the courier. After that, the criminals demanded another 300 thousand rubles. A criminal case has been initiated under the article "Fraud on a particularly large scale." Law enforcement is searching for the organizers of the scheme and the courier who took the cash. The police remind: government officials never ask to transfer money to safe accounts or to check banknotes through ATMs.
