In Bashkiria, pensioner lost over 580 thousand rubles in one and half months
A 73-year-old resident of Salavat believed in "easy money" and gave his money to scammers.
A stranger on the phone introduced himself as a manager and promised the pensioner an income of 40-50 thousand rubles per month from investments. Then a "pseudo-analyst" joined, at whose direction the man installed applications on his phone. He deposited small amounts, saw them in his brokerage account, but never withdrew money.
At the end of March, the "specialist" demanded to "close the leverage" - for this, it was necessary to withdraw all savings from the bank deposit and transfer them to the dictated accounts. The pensioner did so, thinking he was transferring to his own account. As a result, less than 1000 rubles remained in his account.
A criminal case has been initiated for fraud.
