In the Novopokrovsky area, an individual unwittingly handed over 780,000 rubles to alleged swindlers, fearing a terroristic threat.

In the peaceful Novopokrovsky district of the Krasnodar Territory, a tragic incident has shaken the community. A 24-year-old resident, who is part of the unique Old Believers community, has fallen victim to a sophisticated telephone scam.

The scammers, posing as employees of "Gosuslugi", initiated the fraud by making a call claiming there was an issue with a package and the need for a code. The young man was then accused of being a suspect in terrorism, a false allegation designed to manipulate and coerce him.

The scammers' scheme escalated as they convinced the young man to take out loans totaling 780,000 rubles. These loans were transferred to an account specified by the scammers, and unfortunately, the money was then transferred abroad.

This scam is not an isolated incident in the Krasnodar Territory. The "Gosuslugi employees" involved in the phone fraud in the Novopokrovsky District were individuals falsely presenting themselves as government service workers to deceive victims and commit fraud.

The scammers' scheme in the Krasnodar Territory involves using the name "Gosuslugi" and false accusations of terrorism. This tactic has proven effective, as at least one resident has fallen victim, losing a significant amount of money.

Authorities urge residents to be vigilant and cautious when receiving unsolicited calls, especially those involving requests for personal or financial information. If you suspect a scam, hang up and report the incident to the local police.

The Novopokrovsky district, known for its rich history and unique cultural practices, has been left shaken by this incident. The community is hopeful that awareness and vigilance will protect its members from similar fraud in the future.
