Operatives of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Chertanovo Tsentralnoye district of Moscow, as a result of a complex of operational search measures, detained two young people aged 20 and 22 years old in the capital, suspected of fraud.
Previously, it was established that unknown people called the phone of a 64-year-old local resident for several days and introduced themselves as employees of a mobile operator, a public service service and a financial institution.
Under the pretext of protecting her savings, they persuaded a Muscovite woman to transfer 99 thousand rubles to a supposedly secure account. Later, the woman realized that she was a victim of fraudsters, and contacted the police.
During the search of the place of residence of the detainees, the police found and seized a SIM-box and more than 300 SIM-cards, including the one with which the call was made to the pensioner.
According to the police, the suspects found a job advertisement on the Internet, after which they arrived in the capital. An unidentified employer paid for their accommodation in a rented apartment, after which the courier delivered them a parcel with technical devices. The accomplices ' tasks included maintaining the operation of the box and changing SIM cards in a certain period of time. For helping remote scammers, accomplices received a monetary reward.
An investigator of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Chertanovo Tsentralnoye district opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under part 2 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The suspects were taken into custody.
Further operational-search measures and investigative actions are being carried out aimed at identifying, searching for and detaining possible accomplices of the detainees, as well as identifying additional episodes of their illegal activities.
The criminal investigation continues.
