The scam from the grandmother dragged not only the money but the apartment: it was fucking for a month for a month

Came to the police on Saturday

« At the moment, we all have to be particularly attentive and suspicious. I am talking about those who use electronic banking and those who do not use the Internet and do not even have a computer. There are a few simple tips that will allow you not to get stuck on the hook for criminals, but everyone needs to know and use them, » said

On Monday afternoon, his subordinates were assigned a case of fraud in Klaipeda so far.

A 71 -year -old victim sold his apartment and gave the money he received to criminals.

A woman who realized the statement to the police came to the police on a Saturday afternoon.

Why did she only do it when everything was lost? What brought her into the mind and made her realize that she lost her home and money through reliability?

Officials had no answer to these questions on the first day of this week.

So far, officials have not received a statement of persons who have acquired the housing of this woman, but they should also be alarmed.

Asked if he was planning a transaction

A Russian -speaking Klaipeda resident told the cops that on March 21, he received a call from a man who introduced himself as a spokesman for a telecommunications company and told her that the term was expired.

A « benevolent » employee tried to find out a woman’s electronic banking login details, but quickly realized that the woman did not use the Internet, only had a bank card and the classic way of making money from the account would fail.

Another person called this woman very quickly. It looks like he was a person pretending to be a bank employee. He asked if she really was going to sell her apartment.

Every one of us must be particularly attentive and suspicious.

Such a question was surprised by the Klaipėda resident, and she did not intend to do anything like it.

An unfamiliar interlocutor then stated that something obscure and suspicious was happening to her property, perhaps someone without her knowledge was going to sell her apartment.

One can only imagine the fright of a retired man, but the interlocutor hurried to reassure her and promised that all the problems will help her solve smart, similar crimes, a police officer who has been unmissed.

Introduced himself in the name of the actor

The so -called policeman called soon. Introduced himself – Dmitry Miller. Just like a famous Russian film actor, perhaps his name was familiar to the Russian -speaking woman who was familiar and doubtful.

He has repeatedly interacted with the WhatsApp gadget by video conference.

The woman saw the man’s face. He wore a policeman’s uniform to convince more sacrifice. It is true that the country it was uniform and what signs it was marked is not yet known.

In long languages, the « policeman » convinced the woman to catch the scammers, so it would be necessary to fictitiously sell her home, then it will be possible to find out who wanted to do the scam.

There were a lot of conversations, the woman didn’t have time for a respite, the whole month was over the phone, listened to fairy tales about the network of suspected criminals.

She believed that the success of the investigation was only possible if no one would talk about the operation on the operation: neither relatives, police nor a bank or a notary. It is only the secrecy of surgery that can lead to its success.

The woman seems to have been very scared and completely subordinate to Dmitry Miller’s will.

Also deceived a notary

So far, one can only speculate that a woman who had her apartment in the southern part of the city declared that she is cheaper than she is worthy of the market.

Soon, buyers appeared, and they may not know that the apartment seller is shredded.

The owner of the apartment explained that she decided to sell her home because she was going to stay with her son. This situation did not surprise a notary, so the contract of sale was confirmed and effective.

After a while, a 71-year-old woman came to the policeman’s helper and took her bank card, a PIN and $ 5,000. in cash.

The Klaipeda resident lost 56 thousand. euros.

The woman was already delighted that the tension and fear of the imminent « fraud » finally ended.

But an even greater surprise awaited her when she understood or was brought to the mind, the time she had been brought in, and made the greatest foolishness in her life.

Mr Miller introduced himself to more than once

Apparently, the victim was so shocked by this perception that he did not wait for Monday and rushed to the police station on Saturday afternoon.

« We have not been investigating such situations yet. There will be a lot of circumstances. So far, the fraud seems to have begun with a simple attempt to deceive, but when the criminals realized that the victim did not use electronic banking, another mechanism of fraud has turned on. Nor the cops never ask them to transfer money or cards, they do not need to say something, no more than the state, Dmitri Miller, the scam is not the first time. ”

When telling what more to know, the officer reminded that the PIN 2 code is only for financial operations, but never used to identify the person himself, according to the hoaxers.

In addition, clicking on this combination of numbers on the computer or phone screen jumps out a clear note, informing that money transfer will be made.

Immediately place the handset

When people express their surprise that the « bank » employee calls them in Russian, scammers stunned by saying that the interlocutor himself noted, stating that the information in electronic banking would be provided in this language.

Another tip is to collect and check the electronic addresses of official institutions very carefully, as scammers make similar pages and use people’s credibility.

Another advice from the officers is that if you received a call to doubt, it is worth installing the handset immediately and trying to call the specified phone.

Fraudsters will not be called because they enter a fancy number or use a person with a person’s phone number into the gadget.

In addition, it is always possible to call or go to an institution whose name has been covered by the caller, and to make sure that the information is correct.
