PENSIONERS FROM MOSCOW DROPPED 1 MILLION RUBLES FROM THE BALCONY TO FRAUDSTERS

Pensioners received calls from a fraudster who posed as a law enforcement officer and warned victims that in the near future they could become victims of fraud.

Then they actually received calls from the alleged fraudster, after which they informed the "policeman" about this fact, and he, in turn, gave them instructions on how to act in this situation.

Following the instructions of the alleged law enforcement officer, the pensioners cashed their accounts and cards, and then, upon returning home, dropped the money from the balconies, being absolutely sure that they were taking part in the operation to catch the fraudster.

It is worth noting that for additional persuasiveness, the "policeman" assured the victims that the funds would be returned to them, which, of course, did not happen.

It was possible to uncover the criminal scheme thanks to the capture of one of the group members who collected bundles of money thrown from balconies. Currently, a criminal case has been initiated under the article "fraud".

In total, the attackers managed to steal money from three pensioners.
