Parents themselves helped scammers find their child.
In Yekaterinburg, they came up with a new plan to deceive school students. The fraudsters called the parents on behalf of the school management, told them about the medal for academic achievements and asked for the boy's number. The family did not suspect anything.
Then the student was convinced that the employees of the FSB and the banks were communicating with him. The boy was forced to "search" his own apartment via video link. Fortunately, the boy did not find any money in the apartment. Then he was forced to work as a messenger - to receive money from one of his partners and transfer it to the specified accounts.
"The boy himself is constantly pressured by threats to prosecute his parents for their alleged transfers of funds to unwanted organizations," added lawyer Pavel Kozhiukov.
The deception was discovered when the parents noticed suspicious transactions on their son's card. The family contacted the police.
