A young resident of Yekaterinburg lost a large sum of money.
It all started with one call that a 19-year-old student at the Institute of the Ministry of Emergency Situations received.
Details of the incident are reported by the publication E1.ru, citing an acquaintance of the victim and law enforcement officers.
A student received a call from a robot. It asked one question: does she want to make money on investments.
The girl answered "yes" and after that an unknown person contacted her.
She convinced the Russian woman to download the app and then top up her account with a small amount.
At first, investments increased.
Then the swindler convinced the girl to invest a larger sum in order to have an impressive income.
The student saw with her own eyes that this was not a “scam,” so she borrowed several million rubles from her relatives.
The girl transferred the entire amount to the account, after which the curator stopped communicating. The damage amounted to 6 million rubles.
Law enforcement agencies noted that unknown individuals periodically contact Russians, introducing themselves as “financial coaches” and “brokers.”
Experts advise not to communicate with such people and not to believe stories about instant earnings.
