In Moscow, an 81-year-old pensioner lost 23.4 million rubles as a result of phone scam activity. The scheme began when the woman was drawn into a fake residents’ chat, after which people posing as employees of law enforcement and Rosfinmonitoring contacted her. They convinced the pensioner that the money needed to be urgently handed over for “cash collection.” For more than a month, the woman regularly withdrew cash from her accounts and handed it to couriers, using the agreed code words.
