Three residents of Kursk were victims of telephone scammers. The scheme is standard. The scammer calls the local residents and introduces himself as a bank employee.
Then the attacker signals the fraudsters’ attempts to issue a loan. The Kuryans, in order to avoid unwanted loans, transferred their savings to “safe” accounts.
As a result, one woman lost 735,000 rubles, another – 244,000 rubles, another Kuryan sent 670,000 rubles to the scammers. According to the press service of the Ministry of the Interior, an investigation is underway into this fact. All circumstances of the incident are under investigation.
